Booked this hotel because it said it had a pool and hot tub, got there and they had a sign saying it was closed for renovations. Got the room keys and went to the room and the room had a smoke smell to it, went and told the front desk and the guy came down to the room and was rude about it and said it didn’t smell and I had to argue with him to get a different room, second room had a smell to it but wasn’t as bad. I ended up staying in that room due to the fact I was tired and knew it would be a fight to get a different room or refund! Terrible service and staff not friendly!!! Definitely will never stay there again
Clean, close to many amenities, always friendly and helpful staff

Wished that Expedia wouldn't have let us book this property because the pool is closed. The staff were kind, and informative, they stated the pool closure had been reported, but Expedia failed to report.
The room was quite spacious and included a small table and chair alongside the entertainment center and bureau. I liked that the bathroom sink and vanity are located outside of the bathroom to allow simultaneous use.
There were places to sit on the second floor above the lobby, including several spots around a fireplace of sorts.
The only downside was the parking area is a bit of a walk in the dark if arriving after sunset.
Stayed here for one night during a road trip. Very comfortable and clean. We arrive late at night. the night front desk staff Nirender was very helpful and courteous. Explained everything in detail. We enjoyed the free hot breakfast.

I booked this property because it had a hot tub. I arrived to find the hot tub was closed for maintenance. I did ask for and receive a discount or I would have found a different hotel.
I booked this hotel last minute. It’s not my usual preferred hotel chain but I have stayed at other Holiday Inn Expresses and thought it’s just for 1 night. How bad could it be.
The good: hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
The bad: the entire place is very dated. My room had torn curtains, bathroom exhaust fan cover was dangling from the ceiling, ceiling was in need of patch and paint from water damage. The stairwell smelled of vomit.
Excellent friendly service. Solid continental breakfast, simple but clean and functional workout room. Bed was comfortable, good shower.
