The sheets are thread bare and had a horrible brown stain on it. It was clear the comforter had not been washed in months. There was hair in the bathroom and pee stains on the toliet. We were close to the elevator and didnt get much sleep.

Clean place to stay. Nice rooms, nice property. The breakfast was good. The side door lock with key doesn't work (it was unlocked at all times), there was no a/c in the hallway on the 2nd floor, one of our keys did not work with our door. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I'm becoming a huge fan of Holiday Inn Express - I've stayed at three different ones in the last 2 months and they have all, including this one, been clean, comfortable and quiet. I've been most impressed with staff - from checking in to the breakfast provider to checking out - they all have all been welcoming and super friendly. Hard to find these days! I've already booked another stay for business next month!

Multiple power outages, and after prepaying ahead of time they tacked on $700 in charges on our card upon checkout. Now have to wait 3-5 days for them to be refunded. Not worth the price!

Our check in and out was easy and quick. The room was very clean with well maintained and updated fixtures. The breakfast area was very clean and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable with 4 fluffy king size pillows. While we did not use the laundry on our floor, I did notice that the machines were new and the area was very clean just like the rest of the property. We had a very relaxing quiet night. I would stay here again.
