The staff, location, and overall hotel met expectations but unfortunately our room was not adequately cleaned and was humid.
The front desk staff were helpful and polite. We requested an extra blanket for the sofa bed and were quickly accommodated. The breakfast had a variety of offerings and was kept clean and stocked. Our kids enjoyed the pool area which seemed clean.
However the room was not up to expectations for a HI express. There was food residue in the mattress of the sofa bed, long dark hair on the counter in the bathroom, what looked like blood splatter on the side of one of the AC units (I informed the front desk). The entire room was uncomfortably humid and smelled musty. The removable ac filters were clean but it smells like both units need a professional cleaning.

We had a great time and stay here. The rooms was clean and bed was comfortable. The breakfast was one of the better ones we have had and was close to pretty much everything we needed.

A disappointing stay overall.
The front desk staff were polite and check-in was easy, which I appreciated. The location is convenient, and the lobby area looked clean and welcoming.
But the room itself didn’t meet expectations. The cleanliness could have been much better — the floor didn’t seem freshly vacuumed, and the bathroom had a few missed spots. The AC unit was also louder than normal, which made it hard to sleep. Breakfast was okay but not as fresh as I’ve had at other IHG properties.

Booked a couple nights in this hotel for work only to find an ant infestation in the bed.
The hotel was fully booked and they were understandably not able to switch my room.
Unfortunately the only remedy they were willing to offer me was spraying the bed with insecticide... I left at midnight and booked another room elsewhere.
They refunded me but I lost money on booking a more expensive last min stay, which they were not willing to reimburse. I’d honestly avoid this place and go elsewhere if I were you!
