Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel and room were perfectly adequate and what one expects from an older hotel that’s been revamped sometime in the decade. What stood out was the AWFUL layout of the breakfast buffet and FILTHY dining area. The breakfast space is entirely too small for a hotel of this size, especially when full. The dining area was full of spilled food on the floor & tables, trash left anywhere & everywhere *except* a trash can, and abandoned food in the buffet line. It looked like no one bothers to go around to clean & tidy the dining area until breakfast is over. While a fancy machine that grinds coffee beans on demand per cup, then heats water, THEN dispenses coffee 4 minutes later sounds cute and fun, having only 2 of these machines for a hotel of this size is ridiculous. Just brew an urn of coffee that serves more than 2 people at a time! If you plan to eat breakfast at this hotel, do so at your own risk. It’s a nightmare instead of a fun perk during your travels.

We stayed there for one night. Over all not bad but breakfast needs some work. We went there around 8:45 and there weren’t any food left so we had to wait and then by the time we had a table there was already a like to get hot food. Hot food comes out too slow a lot of people are just asking if there was anymore hot food left like their eggs, potatoes & sausages. By the time we ate almost 9:20 there was patties out but the breakfast close at 9 so most people were already done eating.

We have stayed at Holiday Inn/Express many times and we were sad to see poor maintenance at this last stay. The glass light fixture was broken and the towel rack was hanging off the wall. This was unsafe for us. I was surprised to see the room like this.
