    This is an old hotel. It probably was renovated at one time or another, but it shows its age. Old carpet, ceiling and walls patched. Otherwise it was pretty clean. Breakfast was included. We were there on a busy weekend and staff worked hard restocking the breakfast bar all morning. Staff was helpful and nice.

    Be so careful renting their hotel rooms, because the room they gave me was not cleaned and the beds were not made. Trash was everywhere in the room and the clerk said there was no one to clean the room and no more rooms available.

    The staff were friendly enough. However, the room was not well kept. Their website says recently renovated but not my room. The carpets had stains, the furniture is flaking apart, and the wallpaper looks old. The lighting in the room was not good either. And my bedding looked yellow, but that could have been the lighting. Both my sink and my bathtub did not drain properly. The sink had a massive crack in it. The breakfast in the mornings were also not good. The eggs were salty, the fruit on Tuesday morning looked as if it was from the Tuesday before, & the pork sausages barely looked cooked. The gym was ok but could have been better. Only one elevator was working with no signage. Everything in the hotel just a decade old & falling apart. Not to mention, the hotel is surrounded by gates for construction and directly next to the loud highway. On the plus side, if cookies are your thing, they did have cookies.

    The property is in dire need of a renovation. On the last night of my stay, both elevators stopped working, which made check-out the next morning a real challenge (had a larger suitcase that needed to be taken down multiple flights of stairs). The laminate flooring was peeling off the floor and the walls were wrecked—I’m surprised that it’s not under major reconstruction. The room was clean, but the AC was struggling even though the temperatures were not very high in March. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

    I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT....We always use Holiday Inn Express because we have found that they USUALLY do not rely on chemicals to overcome lack of cleanliness, however, this location did not meet Holiday Inn Express Standards on odors in the room. The smells of odors and the smell of chemicals to overcome those odors were outside our expectations for sure. Everywhere else was fine. The staff was nice.

    We stayed one night and had a pet with us, a dog. The hotel charged us $50 for the pet, even though the information in the Expedia page said just $15 per night per pet. Asked to talk to a manager on duty, but according to the front desk, because it was a weekend, there was none on site. The front desk called a manager, but said that it was the hotel policy to charge $50, it didn't matter what the Expedia page said.

    Wouldn’t recommend!! The tv didn’t work at first (but they did fix it fast and efficiently), the heater didn’t work without making the fire alarm go off, there was hair like someone shaved there face/body in the shower before even using it, the shower took forever to get warm it also was incredibly hard to pull the tab to change it from a bath to a shower had to wrap a towel around it and use all my strength, the floors were sticky, and I left after seeing TWO different cockroaches crawl out the sink!!! Would not recommend… only plus side was the staff was friendly and helpful.

    The lobby lacks air conditioning. The air conditioning in the room was excessively noisy. It was not the best part of town so I was grateful that the parking lot was very well lit, however, also, it was impossible to fully close the blackout shades so the room was very bright from the well lit parking lot.

    Parking was fine, staff was very sweet and helpful. The area around the hotel was under construction but it also had a lot of people just “gathering” and hanging out in the parking lot. We felt uneasy about leaving our vehicle overnight. We also initially received a room that smelt AWFUL. They made it right and switched us when we called down but based off their reaction when we explained the smell- I believe they know it was there and we’re not going to further inspect/ resolve the problem.

    The bad: My bed had some strange stains on the sheet, which wasn't discovered until the next day and the one side chair had a dark stain on the fabric, I don't want to know what that was, seriously gross! The carpet had white stains, like paint or drywall residue. The hotel is right off the freeway,which is under construction and just a nightmare. There is nothing around this hotel to see or do, its just a place to sleep in for one night and move on to something better.

    I have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express hotels over the years with no complaints, but this one was disappointing. We had to wait behind a line of cars waiting to pick up their kids at the school across the street and parking was jammed with parents picking up students. The lock on the exterior door next to the elevators was broken (and we were told that a part had been ordered) and anyone could walk in without a key, the elevator and hallways reeked of weed, and we witnessed a number of shady characters waiting by exterior doors coming in and being escorted by other hotel guests. Overall, the room was clean and comfortable, but the property was under renovation and the surrounding area was sketchy, leaving us with a bit of an uneasy feeling about our stay. I will probably never stay at this location again.

    Poor customer service and cleanliness. The first room they gave us smells like someone urinated all over the carpet and when I told them, the front desk said "I know. Let me move you to another room." So if you are aware of that already, why assign that room to a customer?

    Actual check-in was not bad. When we got to the room, we noticed that the door lock was not working. The door could be opened even if it was supposedly locked. We had to re pack our things and move to another room. The bed frame had a metal bar sticking out under the bedskirt and it cut my husbands calf. Fortunately it was not a deep cut. The gentleman who fixed the metal piece stated that he would recommend that the front desk discount our second night stay. That did not happen. The body wash bottle was full but it did not dispense the product. I had to bathe with shampoo.
