No outside door fobs work. The whole hotel has a smell of marijuana. Breakfast was limited and not restocked and it had only been open for 30 minutes. Extreme noise disturbance above our room from 12am-2am, stomping feet and running around. Was fine for the quick stay we needed, but nothing for luxuriness.

This is the worst Holiday Inn Express that I’ve ever stayed in… the condition of the hotel was very poor. The pool was small and dirty. The people working here didn’t even speak English very well. They were not accommodating at all. The air conditioner was broken in our room so we asked to switch rooms. They charged us $56 extra to change our room. Then when I asked about the extra charge, they ended up charging me a 2nd time $56! The breakfast was very poor quality and quantity! They did not have a commissary or anything that we could purchase to drink or snack on. The parking lot is small and the pictures online are clearly edited! I will never book this hotel again!! I really wish I had taken pictures of the hotel so I could upload them for others to see.

Fitness room is an overstatement: two piece of equipment available. The cleanliness of the bedroom was disappointing and made me a bit uncomfortable at first.

The bed was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good. All carpeting and upholstery was filthy. Paint was peeling off in big sheet over the bathtub. Tub and counter were stained or dirty. I did enjoy watching a deer grazing by a pond from the window. I won’t be staying there again.

Pictures are not what this actual hotel looks like. Pretty run down. We were on the first floor, people next to us were fighting all night and in and out of hotel. There's no way staff couldn't hear what was taking place. Even worse, they would go outside to smoke and was just outside our window. So the arguments continued, to the point our kids were scared. Do better, clean it up! Way to overpriced for the poor quality.
