My experience

The light in the entry was not working. The entry door had a gap from the floor that was 2 inches and easy to see under. There was a hole in the ceiling near the window that looked as if it might have leaked in the past and not fully repaired. They only had one small elevator for the entire hotel.

As a club member of Holiday Inn, I chose this location for a quick overnight stop on our way back to Canada after a long road trip. I had stayed at other Holiday Inn Express hotels throughout the journey, all of which offered much better experiences. Sadly, this particular location was a major letdown, we noticed the hotel looked outdated and neglected. The entire property is clearly in need of significant renovations. When we entered our room, we were immediately hit with a strong, unpleasant odor — a mix of humidity and old furniture. It was the kind of smell that lingers and makes you uncomfortable staying in the space. Cleanliness was a major issue. The room had clearly not been properly cleaned. Dust was visible on surfaces. We weren’t the only ones having issues; another family on our floor told us their room was even worse and advised us to check everything before unpacking. They ended up asking for a room change. Breakfast the next morning continued the disappointing trend. The juice machine was broken, and there was no orange juice available. The pancake machine,one of the highlights at other Holiday Inn Express locations was out of service, with a filthy belt that clearly hadn’t been cleaned or maintained in a long time. When we went for coffee, it tasted burnt and old. Most of the chairs and tables were scratched, damaged, or wobbly. In short, this hotel did not deliver the quality or comfort you expect from the Holiday Inn 3-star, felt more like a 1- to 2-star

Safe box in the room got broken and we weren't able to open it till the next morning. Phone didn't work in any of the rooms and front desk clerk didn't bother to let us know about it on arrival. Guest service clerk was given us attitude and was visibly annoyed . Housekeeping on the floor spoke loudly among themselves ignoring guests.

Hotel workers were very friendly!! Then there was the hotel and the property Where do I start? Check in was wonderful check in worker was very friendly then we get into our room. Light shades above our bed were missing carpet under the desk was dirty then it comes to the bathroom. I go to take a shower. The showerhead completely gross, corroded bathtub would fill up and would backwash into the tub. There was dirt there was grime like it was clogged every time you took a shower. Ice machine on our floor, which was the fifth did not work. Had to go down all the way to the first floor when I wanted some ice then when you walked down the hallway of the fifth floor, completely dirty look like it was not vacuumed in years. We go outside to use the pool with the family and let’s talk about unsafe the handrails that you used to go down into the pool completely wobbly accident, waiting to happen The hotel said it had a laundry facility to use it and the machines are out of order , so when I wanted to dry my bathing suit, I couldn’t Wallpaper in the bathroom was ripped sink had a big crack in it. and unfortunately, we love the staff, but we would never stay at this hotel again this really needs to be inspected and re-rated

The pool was covered in empty alcohol nips/bottles which attracted ants and flys! The railings were lose and broken off from the pool stairs. Dirty used bandages in and around the pool. Inside the hotel the carpets were dirty and had trash everywhere. The was hair all over the bathroom sink and shower. Trash underneath the sink, trash in the dressers from previous guest. Bathtub was clogged and backed up. Toilets wouldn’t flush. Breakfast area was small, almost all chairs were ripped or had holes in them. Pancake machine wasn’t working , food was cold and soggy/greasy. Staff was No where to be found half the time or constantly outside smoking. Entire place smelled of weed. Overall this place SUCKED!!!!!!
