Disliked: Amenities
The facility is old. We didn’t even stay. Check in and it was nasty. Our non smoking room very much smelled like smoke. The shower had mold all over it and the ceiling looked like it could fall in at any moment. The staff was terrible. Asked for more bedding and they wanted us to come get it….. But we checked out 15 minutes after we checked in and went somewhere else that was better.

Don't Just Don't

Where to begin. The room itself was fine, room was clean, the bed good and the pillows better than average. However, at about 8:am the fire alarm went off, and it kept going on and off for over 15 minutes. Person at the desk was on the phone and the housekeeping staff were jut going about their work. The breakfast area was HORRIBLE. The Cinnamon rolls were under a warming light, but were FROZEN. the tables and the floor was filthy. There were two guys in the kitchen area but made no attempt to clean anything. The property is full of weeds. On top of all of this, they charged $100 for incidental fees. We stayed at two other nice hotels over the weekend and they charged only $20. Never, Never Again.

There was one working ice machine for the entire building. The staff lied about the pool being heated instead of just saying maybe it wasn't working and they continued to pretend it was heated the entire stay. Our curtains in our room had 30 plus holes in them like there was a gun fight and one of our bathroom lights was out as well. When you stay at a Holiday inn, you expect a certain level of quality and this lacked all of that.

Good hotel to crash in.

I got this hotel because it was close to where I needed to be. I do need to be honest; my room was adequate and fine for my short stay, but needed refreshing. The carpet was clean but could stand to be replaced, the bathroom had water damage on the ceiling, peeling paint/plaster and some staining on the counter but again, it was clean and had plenty of clean towels. Water pressure was adequate, hot water was actually hot. They have Dove soap/lotion/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom which was fine. Bed was very very soft, with lots of soft pillows. Not my favorite but its somebody's. It had clean linens and I made it work for the time I was there. Working Kureg, tiny refrigerator with small freezer and a microwave was included in the room. Their room coffee is a decent brand. Room AC was very cold. That appeals to some people (it got too cold for me) I didn't have breakfast though it was included(no time), and I didn't use any other facilities, so no comment on those. Parking lot is big. Staff was very nice (its Kansas City, thats expected) My biggest dislike was how it was situated on the road + walls/ceilings are thin. If you have people above you, next to you, they'll be heard (felt if they have heavy feet). The hotel itself near grocery stores, chain restaurants, gas stations and about hour to the airport. The price paid was fair. For short stays (for me) the negatives aren't deal breakers and can be worked through.

Hotel has become second rate very fast- Long Gone!

I have watched the place become a garbage hotel in the last 4 years. Fourth year in a row Pool was down when I got there. Waiting on inspection. The breakfast was not Holiday Inn Express breakfast not same food, no cinnamon rolls. The Room air was poor, Internet was so bad unusable. All I can say is I have never seen a HOTEL become so second rate this fast. The owners, the Patel's, have cut every corner- this will be our last time here. Very concerned that this place caries a HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS- they use to have a nice standard-- LONG GONE!

Overall the property was nice. The pool was closed and the ice maker on the lower level was not working. Continental breakfast could be improved by offering fresh fruit. Nice grassy areas around the property to walk a dog. Suggest putting in a dog waste station.
