    Overall my stay was great. The gym was really small and as an avid gym goer, I wasn't happy about that, but I made it work. The continental breakfast was pretty good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was good as far as places to eat/shop. My room was clean and bed was fairly comfortable. I'd stay here again.

    Everything was perfect!! We stay is area once a month due to medical appointments— our first time at this hotel— and now it will be the only place we stay. Clean, quiet, good parking, safe area. Breakfast was very good!! Lots of hot food— and lady was very nice. Everything in room worked— and comfortable. It is a small hotel— smaller rooms, small lobby and two double beds not queens—but perfect for what we needed. See you next month!!

    Had to call and get a grip mat for the shower. VERY DANGEROUS! Beds and pillows were comfortable. TV worked. Fridge, coffee maker and Micro in room. Carpet was not clean. Dirty stains on it. Would rate this Hotel a 3. The safety issue needs to be addressed asap with Holiday Inn. Also, noise next to room was ridiculous.

    Many of the channels on the TV did not work. Walls and doors were thin so you can hear everything. Morning breakfast was decent and employees were great. The view from our room was the back of some apartments, their yards. Newspapers in the lobby that were put out for guests were from a far right wing organization which was a bit strange!

    The hotel is clean although the room seems a little small. If you stay there to sleep, there is no problem. But if you want to stay at the hotel for a long period of time, find a larger hotel room. Breakfast is decent. Overall, it's 4/5. I will be happy to come back and stay there if I need to.

    It was just fine. It was clean and all staff were friendly and responsive. Nothing out of the ordinary for a Holiday Inn Express. The building itself is old, and while they've updated the furnishings, carpet, etc of both the rooms and common areas, the insulation isn't great. You can hear other guests when they are in the hallway, as well as noise from the street. Nothing that'll keep you up at night, not not super relaxing either. The elevator is old and slow, and it broke down during my stay.

    The hotel was closed and has been closed for 6 months. I was out of state, with my family, no car, and standing in a closed hotel. I booked the room online 2 months ago. I called your customer service and was on left on hold for over an hour. I was then re located to a lesser quality hotel in a shady area.. terrible experience.

    Got to the hotel and while the staff and rooms were nice their internet was the complete opposite. Top it off my tomobile had no service here... After two days of up and down internet I ended up just cancelling my stay and moving across town. The staff was accommodating but what does that mean for the 2 days i lost of work? Not much - its 2021 and if you cant get your internet to work properly then you should probably just sell the franchise to someone else.
