A good place to stop and rest.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Jul 2023via mobile
This was a good mid point to stop, rest and get some shut eye during our trip. No complaints. It met our expectations: complimentary hot breakfast, suite with a king bed, and the staff was courteous friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and there was no proliferation of noise (from other guests) when we went to sleep.

We only spent one night at this location. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was your typical Holiday Inn Express breakfast. The outside of the hotel is dated but they had plenty of parking. You are walking distance to downtown. Overall, I would stay here again.

I didn't think it was too bad of a place until I was sitting in the chair in the corner and noticed the desk chair was very dusty on the bottom and very worn on the seat. I was shocked to find such a worn-out chair in a Holiday Inn Express.

I can't say that I found anything else to criticize.

Room tip: Lamps were spotty.

Stayed here for the evening as a stop point on a cross country bus tour. Stayed on 4th floor. Hotel close to town center. Good walkability around hotel and adequate parking. Room was a little noisy with street traffic until settled down well into night. Well furnished complimentary breakfast buffet. Staff members were congenial throughout our stay. Room was clean & well appointed. Good choice if looking for room with nice accommodations.

This is the second time I have had a bad experience with Holiday Inn regarding cancellation. The first time was with a different location. There was a state of emergency due to a snow storm and I couldn't get a refund. This time I was well within the cancellation time limit. I had booked with points and cash. They would not refund the cash. Only points. They will take your money every chance they get!

Room tip: Other brands don't treat their customers like this!

We enjoyed our stay overall. We experienced kind staff and a good breakfast. Our only complaint is evidence of the bathroom counter and sink not being cleaned prior to us checking in, and a dirty washcloth found in the shower. However, we would stay here again despite cleaning issues.
