The room was to have two Queen size beds. The beds we had were Full size beds, smaller than Queens. Since they do not have rooms with Full size beds advertised, they obviously are just using Full size for Queen. In addition, these matresses were some of the hardest ones I've ever had at a Holiday Inn Express...and, I've stayed at a ton of them. I didn't mention it during our stay because we had a busy schedule and we didn't want to pack up all of our stuff(we had 2 kids with us) just to move rooms. And, who's to say the room we went to would even be better? Everything else was fine, but the bed situation was not optimal for what we needed with 4 people...that was why I reserved a room with Queen size beds.

The staff were absolutely amazing! It is very clean and overall well maintained. My only complaint is that the hot tub was barely warm. I don’t regret staying here, it was an amazing experience, but I’m not sure I would come again knowing the hot tub is disappointing.

Everything was great with our stay! The only negative feedback I had was that the two evenings we were there, there was 10-15 boys ages (11-15 probably) in the fitness room playing hockey. I noticed one morning there was trash all over and a cracked ceiling tile. It probably could’ve been prevented had the front desk just kicked them out. I hate to see a great hotel like this one get trashed.

When we checked in, we asked if the hot tub was working. We were told its hot and ready to go. After changing our clothes we went to the pool and stepped into the hot tub. It was freezing cold and the jets were not working. I told the staff and he said, sorry we can't fix it. The maintenance man just left 15 minutes ago. This was the whole reason why we chose this hotel. So disappointing.

Room smelled like a hamster cage. Weird stains on the chair by bed. Base coming apart in the hallways, holes in walls not patched or painted. Staff was friendly, workers looked to be working hard but definitely need to do some repairs and fix the smell.
