Wonderful stay Our family of 12 had 5 rooms for 5 nights. The rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. The unique, large pool area was also clean and was enjoyed by all. Breakfast was adequate. The people at the desk were cheerful and helpful. We all agreed that this was a great place to stay and we will be back.

Terrible experience, do not recommend. Far below the typical standards at this chain. Terrible experience, do not recommend. I stayed here for a total of 10 nights on a business trip and will never stay here again. The hotel was not clean, they made so many errors with my reservation I cannot even list them all here, and while the staff was pleasant, they were very incompetent. A few examples - when I checked in for my first 5 night stay I asked about whether breakfast was included in my rate. I was told no. So I did not eat breakfast there and did not figure it out until I was checking out and looked at my original reservation - sure enough, I had paid for breakfast. I talked to the manager and she gave me some points but it was very disappointing. I also was only checked in for one night initially and so when I came back the next day, I was locked out of my room. During my second 5 night stay the room had a leaky toilet and there was standing water on the ground and it took them 3 days to fix it. Also that entire room smelled musty/moldy probably because of the water leak. Other issues - a repair man walked right into my room when I was in there working with hardly even knocking first, really startled me, also he spoke very little English so I wasn't even sure why he was there. Another issue - my room did not get serviced about half the days that I was there, which I brought up to them several times, and it still kept happening. There are other things but those are some of the more memorable concerns. Obviously I will not stay here again even though it is very convenient for a work site of mine and the price is good - the quality concerns and service are just too much to deal with. This is far, far below the experience that I have had at other Holiday Inn Express locations.
