The price was too high. Should have stayed at Hampton for same price plus was non refundable. I am not happy that I was charged $50 and it is held up to 5 days. Additionally the air conditioning made things feel damp. I will never stay at a Holiday Inn again!
We enjoy staying here when we make our annual road trip from Texas to NY to visit family! Since we have a dog, it’s usually difficult to find a nice hotel that welcomes pets. We are so happy that your hotel still welcomes us! Our rooms were beautifully updated and very clean and comfortable! Would highly recommend and will choose this location for every road trip from now on!
Booked 5 rooms for family going to graduation ceremony. 3 one nghts 2 two nights. The lady @ the check in was perfect. The check in was easy even with all guest arriving @ different times all the way as late as 3am. The rooms were nice as well, clean comfortable, and updated. The location isnt the closest but not far either. Great place to stay
The ladies at the front were friendly, the room however was not worth what I paid! It was not cleaned well and the bathroom was less than appealing! If there would have been other hotels available I would have requested a full refund and left. However, due to multiple graduations in the area, I was stuck staying there because everywhere else was booked! There was hair on the floor in the bathroom when we arrived, and blue stuff dripping down the bathroom wall. The top of the microwave was dusty and dirty and the bathroom wall needed a lot of work. I was extremely disappointed and will never book at the Holiday Inn Express again!
The help that we received upon our arrival was what made the trip good. Our lady was on top of communicating all we needed to know and helped us get in the room quickly.
The hotel was fine, the bed was very comfortable. I am still having issues getting a receipt from my stay to turn in for an expense report. After multiple calls and providing two email addresses, still no receipt. Frustrating!
