The pictures were a little deceptive. It looks a little brighter and cleaner in the photos, but it definitely has kind of a creepy aesthetic to it when you first walk it. Just very dim lighting and eerily quiet.

Crappy

The room was very dated. Entry room light and overhead light in bathroom - burned out. Bed rolled to middle. Shower ok, except for the mold in the corners, and vanity and shower soap dispensers not functioning. Carpet needed cleaning. TV remote was broken. A/C put out humid air. Worst Holiday Inn I’ve ever stayed in!

Decent hotel near Kaufman Stadium. It could use some upgrades, but it was fine fir what we needed. Getting on and off the property is, frankly, hazardous because of passing traffic. The roadway traffic makes entering traffic quite tricky. Decent breakfast, nice staff, and reasonable rates will allow me to return despite the traffic issue.

Check in was fast and efficient. Room size was bigger than anticipated. Breakfast was mediocre but provided so there's that. The picture of the pool was deceiving and turned out to be much smaller than expected but it did what it needed. We stayed on an extremely hot weekend and the a/c kept up and rooms stayed comfortable, definitely a huge plus. Location is good but entering/exiting can be difficult as you're turning on a road that is busy and fast. Price was average. Overall would stay here again if in the area.

Spent one night here while moving. It’s less than 10 minutes to the baseball and football stadiums. Room was solid and the staff was nice. The internet was spotty in our room but that’s my only complaint.

No outside door fobs work. The whole hotel has a smell of marijuana. Breakfast was limited and not restocked and it had only been open for 30 minutes. Extreme noise disturbance above our room from 12am-2am, stomping feet and running around. Was fine for the quick stay we needed, but nothing for luxuriness.

This is the worst Holiday Inn Express that I’ve ever stayed in… the condition of the hotel was very poor. The pool was small and dirty. The people working here didn’t even speak English very well. They were not accommodating at all. The air conditioner was broken in our room so we asked to switch rooms. They charged us $56 extra to change our room. Then when I asked about the extra charge, they ended up charging me a 2nd time $56! The breakfast was very poor quality and quantity! They did not have a commissary or anything that we could purchase to drink or snack on. The parking lot is small and the pictures online are clearly edited! I will never book this hotel again!! I really wish I had taken pictures of the hotel so I could upload them for others to see.

The bed was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good. All carpeting and upholstery was filthy. Paint was peeling off in big sheet over the bathtub. Tub and counter were stained or dirty. I did enjoy watching a deer grazing by a pond from the window. I won’t be staying there again.
