Room Great, Everything Else Bad
The room itself was fine. It was everything else that was bad. There was no one at the front desk when I arrived and I had to wait around. Finally the person in the back heard another guest arrive who had already checked in and was just passing through the lobby. No never saw a front desk person during my entire overnight stay including when I checked out. I just left my key on the front desk. The breakfast was terrible, especially after getting my hopes up based on the labels on the wall of eggs, bacon and sausage. What I ACTUALLY got was corn beef hash, soggy fried potates, something that looked like chuckwagon (breaded) sausage patty, and what tasted like powdered eggs. It's possible that latter were real, but I just had really nice scambled eggs at a competitor hotel the day before which were much better. The cinnamon rolls were as dry as hard tack. The ironic thing is there was a "mother hen" personality supervising the breakfast and I suspect she thought everything was wonderful because it was "her breakfast." If I hadn't found the small fridge in one corner of the breakfast area because another guest was getting things out of it, I would have starved. There were hard bioled eggs and cream cheese for the bagels in there. I got some coffee from the lobby when I checked in and had to take it to my room to heat it up in the microwave.
Dried out cinnamon buns
Hot bar - only the middle two had anything inside
Pancake machine that I didn't try

The staff was great but not always visible at the front. The room was clean and location convenient for a few nights stay.

This hotel serves a nice breakfast buffet with fresh food and numerous hot items in a clean serving and dining area. The room was comfortable, towels and supplies were easily obtainable, and everything worked properly in the room.

The room was dirty. They did mop the floor as we did not have carpet and was sticky when walking. One wall had been washed in certain areas. I think someone had a big party in the room and it wasn't clean properly.

I will never stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Gloucester, Va again. The elevator was down the whole weekend and it was a very inconvenience for my mom who havs very bad asthma and uses a cane because she has very bad knees. Rhey couldn't give use a room on the 1st floor of the hotel because they had people living there. My mom had to walk up 2 flights of stairs and each flight had 15 steps, so she wasn't able to come back down to do anything the day we arrived. She was very upset. The refrigerator in our room was dirty, The pool was dirty also. I asked the front reception for compensation because of the inconvenience with the elevator and she said because you booked through a thrid party we won't be able to compensation you. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Patched hotel
Hotel seems to be getting patched up. They need to replace the elevator almost got stuck… the breakfast area was great. The poor woman working it we felt bad because kids dropped plates of food on the floor. Checkin and check out was great. Our room looked like it was recently updated

Great place see if elevator works!
It was great but the elevator was being repaired so we had to carry everything all the way up stairs and down. Also back door by stairs not always locked.
