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.

Hot mess of a hotel

And the room was overall dingy and smelled unpleasant. There full refund and this should removed from hotels. Com and lose their IHG flag.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with hotels! When we checked in they attempted to put us in a room right next to a room that was being painted, we got moved to a secondary room, due to excessive smell of paint fumes in the room, and it also smelled so much of paint fumes we got light headed and ended our reservation early. Their staff was so unhelpful during the whole process, They refused to refund me my money, and insisted on charging me a cleaning fee. For a room that we only pulled the sheets back on and noticed was dirty before we had even got there, super combative staff when it comes to their costumer services. I just counted my losses. But i would not recommend this place to anyone.

Ok, minus the noise & limited privacy

Well, in general, I usually like a Holiday Inn Express. The actual hotel was pretty ok, nice bed, in-room coffee maker, microwave, refridgerator. The fitness center was really just a small room with 2 cardio machines, but at least it was something. I chose to do yoga in my room, though. The indoor pool seemed ok, and warm, though I did not use it. The included hot & cold breakfast was a fairly decent offering (the expected), & the front desk personnel were nice. However, my room, 130, not a great location. It is at the corner of the wing that leads to the pool & fitness center, which appeared convenient at first. I soon learned that it meant I would hear all foot traffic to those areas AND through the glass doors JUST OUTSIDE MY WINDOW. I literally could not open my curtains unless I wanted to watch everyone coming in and going out, and let them watch me. I could have watched while certain guests who smoke stood just outside the doors, propping them open despite the sign saying not to, and allowing smoke into the building (I'm allergic). Weirdly, the fact that this hotel is just off a highway is not what made noisy. Those noises were few. There was a ton of door slamming and kids running and pounding thru the hallway next to me & above me. I did ask one of the front desk personnel to help in that situation, & they were nice, but I am not sure what actually followed. So, it was a rough 2 nights of not enough sleep. Maybe a different room would have worked out better?

Booked the property due to it having pool facilities, only to turn up and find out the pool was closed. Damage to room evident upon arrival, missing handles on furniture, cracks and sealant missing in the bathroom and toilet continuously flushing. Room was booked to make use of the pull out bed, which no linen was provided, despite number of bodies occupying the room being confirmed online. During the breakfast, staff handling the food had no food service PPE on i.e. no gloves, no hair nets. Pieces of equipment in the dining room not functional, including pancake maker and juice machine with no signs indicating they were out of order. Issues with key cards not working which could have been a major safety issue, quickly rectified by reception staff. Other than the complaints listed above, the reception staff were the small beacon of light that made the hotel welcoming.

Walked into Non smoking room that smelled like heavy cigarette/cigar smoke. TV didn't work, and there wasn't a phone in the room. Staff was nice, we reported what we found but they had to check the room to confirm. After they confirmed our findings they gave a different room

Room was cold when arrived, thankfully the heat did work once turned on. Shower had hair in the tub and an old used bar of soap left in the shower. Hotel is run down and not very clean. It was an 8 min drive to Arrowhead stadium which was convenient but wouldn’t stay here again.
