The property itself is great. The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. The room and esp. the bed was wonderful. Offered everything we needed after a long long drive. But no close by restaurants or stores and what was near was closed/deserted and very shabby, actually scarry. But hotel is great. Breakfast was wonderful

Was a group of crazy drunk teens / 20s in the parking lot setting off car alarms, fighting, making all types of racket for a few hours on sunday night. Alot of people complained. I dont feel the girl at the front of the desk was ready to handle a situation like that and she looked nervous and upset about it, but like a child would. If this were NY the cops would have been called in 5 minutes. It was scary enough for me to move my car for the night and keep monitoring the situation as i had young kids with me. I loved everything else about the stay, but it made me wary of area and more so the ability of the hotel staff to mitigate these issues.

Our stay at the Holiday Inn express was very nice. The bed was super comfortable. The room was clean. The breakfast was really good. The only suggestion I would have was the lack of shower pressure which the hotel said that they will be checking out.

Poor service and bad stay

Well we got there early and was told room wasn't ready so we waited outside and then watched other people come in get their room and then bring their car to the door to unload their belongings. So we waited a while longer and some other people came did the same so I went and questioned it was told couldn't get in until 3 because that was check in time so I confronted the lady about it and she got upset stating they already had a room. More less just lied to my face. Will not stay there again. Beds are hard. Breakfast wasn't great watered down gravy cold sausage was half cooked. Cinnamon rolls was good. Pancake maker tore up people couldn't get it to work right

Towels were smelling bad in room 300. Smelled like a dead animal when the heating was turned on.
