From the outside and pictures on site we thought this was a new or remodel hotel and we were wrong. The location is near the highway but nothing else really around but a waffle house, save a lot and a few Mexican restaurants. Staff was nice and accommodating. The hotel smells wet. Our 1st room clearly had waster damage it smelled so bad but were given another room. The 2nd room didn't smell but needed some work. Breakfast was nice in the morning as well.

Decent visit, but my least favorite of the Holiday Inn Express locations in the area. Nice job to the team who did help me print out some things that I needed while on a business trip.
Otherwise the hotel is really showing it's age and there are no good views to be had anywhere that I could see.
Convenient to the interstate so that's nice. I tried it because I was curious but I think I'll go back to my regular location next time. Desk chair was very uncomfortable and I did need to work for several hours while I was there.
Room was clean, no issues there. It was really just the atmosphere, age, and location.

IHG, please sell this location. It gives your organization a blackeye. Shabby, dirty and smelly!!!! Two of three towels are stained. The bathmat is stained. One face cloth has a yellow stain in the center. Hand towel has a quarter sized hole in it. There’s exposed plumbing in the bathroom. The lobby smells bad. The elevator smells like hydraulic fluid or some other petroleum product. The hallway smells bad and the room smells moldy. This whole facility is threadbare and worn out. It is unlike any Holiday Inn express I’ve ever stayed in.I really really wish I could get my money back. The man at the front desk was polite, but not friendly. Creepy people hanging around near elevator…they look homeless. Feels very unsafe here. IHG, sell this location or close it!!!!
