I probably won’t come back to this hotel. The floors shake and I can hear non stop pounding above my room all night. People need to learn how to not stomp when walking.

Property was clean and looked airy. The room was clean well decorated. I noticed that the bathroom door should have been trimmed when the tile floors were installed. The parking lot had a pole light fixture that needed replacing because it was flashing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Typical Holiday Inn Express

Overall the hotel is clean. Our issue was the air conditioner wasn’t working well in our room. I let the front desk know in the morning and they asked if I turned the temperature down, really? Told them we’d be gone for the day so it can be fixed. Came back late in the evening and nothing was done with it.

Average place.

Hotel was clean. The air conditioner in our room wasn’t working properly. We let them know in the morning and said we’d be out for the day so please look at it. When we got back to the room, about 10pm, nothing was done.

Stayed one night. Super clean. Bed was comfortably. Breakfast was the best we've had in a long time. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage etc. Biscuits were so soft and fresh. Usually srale 2 to 4 day old stuff.

Temperature in room could not be adjusted. Very warm. Called the front desk to ask for help and they hung up on me twice. No solution, no offer to help, no fan. Rude. Avoid this property.

Bring a step stool

Hotel is very nice and well maintained. The beds, however, sit way too high off the floor. I'm 6 foot tall and my feet didn't touch the ground sitting on the side of the bed.

Wasn’t the best stay

The entry way smelled like wet dog, the room on the 4th floor also smelled that way. Lucky I had a lavender mist with me that I sprayed all over the room to eliminate it. Parents would let their kids run and scream down the hallways until almost 10pm, I was on a work trip and needed sleep. The breakfast was not great. The eggs were cold and they barely had enough at 9am in the morning, breakfast was from 6-10am. Didn’t bother refilling and at the same time the pancake machine was broken. I would rate this hotel at a 3 star at best. Needs some work.
