Not a great experience at all! Never again.

The bathroom was not clean and had several strands of hair in the floor. Saturday morning breakfast there was no milk at all. Children were eating cereal without milk. We mentioned to the front desk. The gentleman at the desk was nice but breakfast wasn’t aweful and the other employees when asked for milk shrugged at us.

Last time we stayed at this hotel

Bad above a working area so the view was pretty horrendous. The price was OK but the room wasn’t in great shape. You expect better cleanliness, especially From this holiday inn express. You know the funny thing is you can complain all you want but what they really should do is offer you a discount, etc..
Crap on floor at check-in
