There are roaches on the bedside table and crawling up the walls. 😩Don't know how I'm going to sleep. Also, booking on expedia is $10 cheaper now than what I paid, today. Tv was unplugged in the back of console. Took me a minute to figure it out. Mostly the roaches tho. Ugh.

There was a leak in our room the first night. It leaked down in to the breakfast area. We had to change rooms for the repair. No help with moving! The room we changed to had no lamp and no chair at the table. The second morning breakfast ran short of items, biscuits, sausage, eggs, etc. 30 minutes before scheduled shut down. Thougnt we might get reimbursed or comp somehow, but no! The hotel was clean, comfortable, staff were nice, courteous.

Stay was okay, not bad, not great....

The stay was fine, but nothing special. I think this is the old Holiday Inn Express, rebranded. The hotel charged $25 for my pet. I'm used to paying $10-$15. I felt this was over-charging. My opinion.
