Poor Experience
I booked my room the afternon before my trip. Unfortunately I had an emergency and had to cancel my entire trip. When I reached out that same evening and explained the situation, I was told that there was nothing they could do because it was policy to cancel by a certain time. I replied back asking for an exception to the rule due the the circumstance. This reply was ignored and I was charged for the room. Heartless people and poor Customer Service all around.

Don't stay here.
The staff at check in was nice. When we got to our room the towels werent folded. The bed felt dirty and the walls didnt look clean. We went out to the hot tub to relax after, but it was really dirty. It wasnt cleaned in days, the pool looked the same.

The surrounding property of the hotel was clean. Aside from some non-working light fixtures and I noticed some hornets nests and infestation of crickets I believe it was decent

6/10 Good

I did not like that the safety entrance to the pool was not working. So anyone could have walked in had they tried to open the gate. I did not like that the pool was not being cleaned form all the debris that was falling in. Including all the crickets. I noticed not all of the lights surrounding the pool were working, this made it difficult to navigate the outside and again, unsafe. For my bathroom, I noticed some substances on the walls, including hair. The bath tub had red marks probably from the prior guest and it looked unsanitary. Aside, from this I enjoyed the Dove products and the organization of the towels and closet. The main room, was for the most part clean. I found no big issues with it aside from stains on the bed that appeared unsanitary. I enjoyed the tv channel list and WiFi password instructions. I was staying for a total of 3 nights and a day. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The continental breakfast was very nice, had plenty of variety and was clean and organized. The lobby always looked fresh.i I hadn’t noticed the printer and computers that were available, however that was a nice touch. I rate my overall stay a 3 out of 5. I would still give holiday Inn express another chance to fix these concerns of mine.
