Nice location, friendly service. But….the television situation is a mess. 4 trips to the front desk, very complicated system to operate the tv. Channel buttons don’t work, on purpose. You have to type in each number and can’t just scroll around. Also, my shower head dripped the entire time, not an issue until trying to sleep. I’ve stayed here a few times and will stay again, but could use some updates on small things.

TV did not work. ShPower door I installed backward, preventing use of grab bar, hitting shower head, and hanging the towel bar on the inside where it would get wet. Room phone would not connect to front desk.

I never leave reviews but this time beware.

Sadly, when I saw that they were changing from a holiday inn to a holiday inn express, I thought they would have changed some things. $200 per night. The awning at the front doors is damaged and missing half… there’s a cute bulldog out front I wanted my son to take pics with when I saw a bunch of screws and nails randomly set there. Upon checkin, staff was rude. Only one elevator works, the pool is NOT heated (so cold we couldn’t even swim), the hot tub has whitish yellowish cloudy water and the jets didn’t work. The carpets are filthy and the lights are old and dim. The whole visit was a struggle. I could list more issues but you get the hint at this point. It’s not a pleasant stay.
This is the only photo I got. My 6 year, who loves hotels packed his bag first thing in the morning. Had breakfast and we decided to leave.

Worst experience at a Hotel I never stayed at

Well I went in to ask about ethernet, I was told I couldnt use it in the lobby but needed to get a room. Which I was told I couldnt they were full. I then told desk clerk I was able to book it on hotels.com , he scarffed snarffed and snarled - was so rude to me. I went to the room and NO ETHERNET - I came out immediately almost in tears saying I had to leave there is no ethernet. Desk clerk was EVEN RUDER refusing to refund me do to a communication error. I called to complain and they called again on monday Aug 4th to only get denied the refund so rudely.

Parking lot was very run down, lots of cracks no lines for parking. Walkways were dirty and unkempt. The drop off area was cordoned off because somebody apparently crashed into the roof of the overpass. No flowers or landscaping just what felt like old construction debris. The common areas are very rundown carpet needs to be replaced walls need to be painted. Inside the room, the furniture is old and scratched but the bed was good. Just felt very rundown more like a motel. for the price I was surprised, I thought I’d get a little bit more. Went down for breakfast at about 745am and most of the food was out of stock already. I guess there was a big golfing group that came the same weekend. They did have a good variety, but the sausage was barely cooked. Oatmeal had run out. Just average and if we come back to the area I would look for some where else to stay.
