Not too bad if it's free, rooms are decent enough, could use a bigger fridge. There's definitely space for it. Front desk staff are nice, lobby area is nice with a nice deck, even though there's no view to anything except kudzu. Can't comment on housekeeping yet as they havent knocked while I've been sleeping, which is inevitable.

Very disappointed with our stay. The hallways and our room smelled strongly of mold. The bathroom wasn’t clean, and housekeeping did the bare minimum. Our room door barely closed, which felt unsafe. Overall, the place didn’t meet basic cleanliness or safety standards. Breakfast was okay—just your usual standard hotel food. Definitely expected more from a Holiday Inn Express.
