The service staff were good except for their casual attire. I did not think they were the people who worked there, I thought they were guests staying there. And when you are giving someone your credit card to pay for your room you want to feel secure in who you are giving it to. The front desk associate was wearing jogging pants and a hoodie with the hood on over his head and it shaded his face which made it difficult to see his face. The room was very outdated, cracked lampshades, no vent in bathroom, furnishings, train tracks by the building, hot breakfast wasn’t served (said that something was broken), it was rough. Everything seemed like it was ok until we went to bed and all we could smell through the vents was marijuana-when it’s going through the vents there’s nothing you can do, you are stuck smelling it. Moving to another room wouldn’t have helped. It was not a great experience.

Large helpful & kind staff member clearly has a bathing issue, but fortunately the smell was only near her. Property could use transitions on the floor due to ragged carpet (or replace carpet). Pool was out, treadmill was out, main light in our bathroom was out--apparently bulbs are on order(?)--meant that we delayed bath for my small child)--and had to ask for a plug to use the bath instead of shower (not built in), plus toilet handle stuck & ran. Walls were thin & I could hear traffic through the windows. Maintenance & better management would serve Holiday Inn Express better here. If I were higher management, I'd give them a talking to, or simply fire them. If this is not a good part of town, guests have little idea. The good beds and breakfast saved the day here, but wow. Glad it was only 1 night.

Good value for the money.
We experienced a really good stay. The hotel rooms could use some updating. The hallways definitely could use some paint and vacuuming. However, the room was clean and comfortable. The fan on the heater was quite noisy, so we just turned it off. The breakfast was AMAZING and so was the staff. There are stores and restaurants within walking distance. It was a good choice for us!

The phone in the room was not hooked up so you had to go all the way down to the front desk to ask for anything. There was no clock in the room. The toilet constantly ran. We asked when we checked in to have towels left at our door each day and we only got them once.

The hotel just needs updating. After seeing a few negative reviews I was not going to stay at this hotel but it was the closest for a concert we were seeing. It wasn’t as bad as some recent reviews but it just needs some updating.

The room smelled awful! Carpet needs to be cleaned. Walls were filthy with stains. Microwave was layered with fingerprints like it had not been cleaned. The toilet seat was wore out. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the roach in the bathroom. Left immediately.

A place to sleep—that’s it. No housekeeping unless requested. Modest breakfast. Shopping mall location with nothing attractive about it. The room was fine. Functional place to stay but not a destination by any means.

Could use improvement
Asked if I used the hotel to airport shuttle service in this review. Didn’t even know they offered that. Pool had dirty towels laying out, no towels in the clean rack, didn’t appear cleaned or maintained. Was looking forward to using it but saw the life saving bouy rings, taken off the wall by someone else, had been floating in the pool for the whole three days/2 nights we were there, on top of the dirty towels everywhere, so didn’t even bother. Gym had weights sitting out on the floor everywhere from a previous customer who enjoyed the gym and no way to clean equipments. Only one towel in the clean rack in the gym. Waited a while for front desk service at times, sometimes due to them standing outside smoking or talking with their coworkers, but once I got service it was ok. Breakfast had good variety but would like more hot foods offered.
