The staff tried to come in to my room using the master key without knocking. Then they said they needed to check my ID as there may have been a mistake in rooms. I walked down to the desk but the were telling me I didn’t need to go just for me to give them my ID. Not happening. I will never stay in this hotel again.

The shower was cold, only after running it for 25 minutes did it turn warm. AC made a weird noise all night long. Water pressure seemed to explode out of the facet, drenched my arm when first turned on. Felt more like a quality inn rather than holiday inn.

Not a great property or staff. Surprised Holiday Inn would have their name associated with this old and unclean hotel. We only last about 20 minutes before my daughter had allergic reaction to something in the air. Left and struggled to get a manager on the phone to get our money back. Stayed at another hotel in the area for our visit without issue

The room was not clean—there were noticeable stains on the couch and the walls were in poor condition. The pool was also very unclean and did not appear properly maintained. The shower had no hot water at all, which was extremely frustrating. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially for a Holiday Inn Express.

The air in the lobby and hallways was stale and smelled like cigarettes and marijuana, the carpeting in the lobby and hallways were stained, dirty and better complete replacement. It's looks and smells rundown. The room's condition was a pleasant surprise! Clean and very large! The front desk gentleman was not a welcoming person at all. Evren though we paid for the room through Expedia in advance, he demanded an additional $125 security deposit on our credit card before he would give us the room key. Why?

The room was in ok condition. For the hotel to be as new as it is, it's a little run down. Soon as you enter there's a snell in the front lobby. It's definitely overpriced. It should be. The walls are very thin no more than $80 a night
