The phone didn’t work, coffee maker was working if hit it, water in bath sink had no pressure. Room too small, no place to keep stuff in bath. Dog was across hall that bark constantly. Reported it but nothing done. Protestor was in front and had megaphone. Just very disappointed with the hotel. Stayed in Holiday Inn Express before and this is the worse I’ve encountered.

Property was in a convenient location for what we wanted to do and see. Check in was very quick and easy. Having breakfast on site was a great perk. Only downside was that the rooms were not insulated from all the hallway noise.

Ok stay

The room was clean but very small for the price. Had an elevator issue that was scary and no hot water to shower. The breakfast was good with lots of choices.

Jim

Disliked: Staff & service
The ddorman and house keeping staff were very friendly and helpful. The managers had a terrible attitude. When a concern was voiced about the small room - no bureau for clothes, nowhere to sit and not enough space for two people. One manager just walked away while another got annoyed and said "so what? Do you want to cancel your stay and go somewhere else". Not a hint of knowledge of customer relations. With the lack of management acumen and the lack of a decent size room I won't be back. Bottom line - if anyone is looking for a nice comfortable stay, look elsewhere.
