The hotel was fine - as you expect for a low budget place. The pull out sofa bed was terrible - so don't plan to use it (old dingy mattress, bar feel under bed).

Front Desk agent aloof, dismissive and mildly condescending. Seemed annoyed by my presence. Did book me into my room and give me a key, however, which is the most important part.

I reserved a specific room (Suite with extra floor space) which was detailed out with pictures. It was the most expensive room, but perfect for my purpose - a separate area for sitting with 4 people. Room cleaning from night before was way behind, still cleaning rooms at 4:00, which is when we checked in. We were told they upgrade us to presidential room, which is not a room on their website. They promised it was better than what I specifically reserved, and that "we didn't need the one I reserved because it is for people staying multiple nights". Our room was an accessible room, without the separate sitting area for 4, instead a long wide hallway with couch and chairs against the exterior wall. 1/2 of the seating was in the bedroom. Bottom line, they lied at check-in, and made a shift to accommodate their goals, instead of what I specifically reserved and paid for. My feeling is this hotel has guaranteed business most nights, is overwhelmed when busy, cleaning staff is too small or not efficient, and management is questionable for the amount of customers and money coming through the door. Of course when I make a reservation for the most expensive room with a specific layout, don't change my Room and lie about the "upgrade".

Property was pretty quiet especially during a busy time with Cheyenne Frontier Days going on. Had to wait a bit to get into room as they were so booked. But even being close to railroad, it was quiet.

This property is way over priced. This should not be an 8.6 rated hotel for the price it cost and the condition of the rooms. The beds are terrible there's no fan in the bathroom so if you take a shower it gets super steamed up and let's not talk about if someone has to go #2 then it's bad for an hour! Paint peeled off the vanity cabinets stains on the carpet and couch. This shouldn't even cost $150 a night let alone the over $300 a night it cost. I won't be going back to this holiday inn express again.

Initial front desk staff told us we had to wait until someone came back. We returned in about 20 minutes and were told our room was not ready. Our room was ready 1 1/2 hour after check in time. The following day our rooms keys didn’t work, and we had to return to the front desk and was issued new keys. Breakfast was decent, but ran out quickly. Between the delay, new room cards and breakfast running out, maybe we should have been offered some kind of discount
