Hotel Stay

The hotel was close to my son's college campus. It was also close to stores and restaurants. The room was clean but the bed was uncommon so I didn't sleep very well.

I liked that it was right off the highway easy to find. The staff was nice and friendly very knowledgeable. I really didn't have to go out to eat. They had their own restaurant. But when I did go out everything was close and convenient. The rooms were nice and comfortable and housekeeping was very nice and friendly and came and clean my room for the duration stay I was there. Overall that was a great place to stay.

The server at breakfast was very friendly. I hate I didn’t get her name. Just know it’s not continental .My only issues were when I called the desk, it rang for a long time and when someone did answer, I was on hold for forever that I forgot I was on hold. My room had a shower but it didn’t work. Gratefully I’m able to sit in the bath tub as there were no safety rails. Then I wasn’t able to get any sleep the 3 nights I was there because the air conditioning unit was so loud; going on and off every few minutes. The King sized bed and pillows were quite comfy though. Lastly…. No lightening! The bathroom was dark so I had no idea what my makeup would be like until I stepped outside to check it while in my car. The light illuminated from behind the mirror. That was very disappointing.

I made a reservation for my parents for a roll in shower because my mother is in a wheelchair. When they arrived, they were told that a room like this was not available. How do you expect her to take a shower? We booked the specific shower for that reason. They eventually “found” a room with the roll in shower but not after them sitting there a while after a long day of traveling. I would expect better from this established hotel chain but Holiday Inn Express in general has about a 25 % rate with my mom and dads roll in shower rooms of getting it right. Maybe it’s time to find them a different chain……..
