The stay was nice - we were moved from one leaky room to another, but wasnt really upset about it....didn't really blame the staff. I have no real complaints - good tv package, normal clean rooms, good showers, and was quiet. Only thing i would say is not enough pillows in the room but that's it.

This place is a great stay! Clean rooms besides a pinkish stain on one of the blankets, but didnt come off as dirty just random. Full directv and great quality picture. Good microwave and fridge. The staff is kind and they give you your privacy. There is a lot of food choices nearby. Overall, just a nice experience.

Pool was closed, vending machien was completly empty, gym was not 24 hours like advertised and got eaten up by something. Also on our second night there we got woken up by a crash in our room. And found that the headboard on the wall behind our heads had fallen down. Luckly it just slid down in between the bed and the wall.

Overall good stay
My stay was for business purposes. I arrived late at night and left early. The room was clean and comfortable. Albeit the hotel was obviously an older one, the room was clean and everything worked fine. Both front desk clerks with whom I had interactions, were friendly and professional. I do have to say that, even though I arrived too late to use the pool, it was not only out of service, but also served as a large frog pond.

Filthy, horrible service.
This was by far, the most filthy hotel I have ever stayed in. The bathtub was filthy. The shower curtain was gross. The towels were threadbare had a Holiday Inn logo tag; comical!) The sheets had stains. The photos on the hotel website showed a coffee maker, there was none. There was an ironing board, but no iron. Not, one, single coat hanger. No housekeeping, bed was never made. I was charged $86 per room (2rooms) and when I made a polite complaint, I was told ‘no refunds and I was literally screamed at by not one, but two managers. The chair was filthy, with stains. There was no clock or phone. It was a hideous room; a $40 room, at best, yet I was charged $82 dollars. The ice maker had mold growing on the dispenser. The snack machine was completely empty. The was garbage piled in front of my room for 3 days. Cigarette butts everywhere. My credit card was billed and after being told no refunds, I had little choice to find another hotel. The website offered free breakfast, which was non-existent. The pool was atrocious.

Expedia agent lied to me and told me there was no availability at the Holiday inn express down the street. I was in this room for 15min. Smelled like stale smoke. Doors were not secure and I did not feel safe so I left room 114. I ended up booking my own room at the Holiday in. Express. Disappointed with Expedia's customer service and morals lying to customers to save Expedia money!

For the location (Forest City/Spindale) and the price per night, I was blown away. I thought for sure with how cheap it was there would at least be roaches in the rooms? But they were very clean, staff was friendly, and I would be happy to stay again. However, just know going into it that this isn’t the Hilton or some other upscale hotel, it’s affordable, and they do this very well.
