The sheets are thread bare and had a horrible brown stain on it. It was clear the comforter had not been washed in months. There was hair in the bathroom and pee stains on the toliet. We were close to the elevator and didnt get much sleep.

I'm becoming a huge fan of Holiday Inn Express - I've stayed at three different ones in the last 2 months and they have all, including this one, been clean, comfortable and quiet. I've been most impressed with staff - from checking in to the breakfast provider to checking out - they all have all been welcoming and super friendly. Hard to find these days! I've already booked another stay for business next month!

Multiple power outages, and after prepaying ahead of time they tacked on $700 in charges on our card upon checkout. Now have to wait 3-5 days for them to be refunded. Not worth the price!
