All in all, the staff members were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable, the food was good, and the indoor pool was warm. The downside was lack of cleanliness in the restrooms and corners of the room. It makes a person really cringe to look at a stranger's hairs in the bathroom corners and shower.

The room was clean at check-in , but wasn't cleaned during our stay and no clean towels. We only stayed 2 nights or this would have been a bigger issue. When we arrived no one was at the front desk , so after about 5 mins I called the hotel and someone showed up to answer the phone , apologized and checked us in. There is some work being done to the outside, but it was quite , no issues there.

We stopped in last minute while on the road for a business trip. The front desk was very helpful, but she had to call her manager multiple times because their system wasn't working correctly and they were having challenges finding instructions in their manuals. We had to wait awhile until we could actually get our rooms. Room was big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was disappointing. They had little options and their pancake machine wasn't working. The stay met our needs, but it was just average.

We were very impressed with this HIE! It could not have been any cleaner. There was not a speck of dust in any corner and I wiped down the bathroom counters myself and the paper towel came back clean. Elmer checked us in and saw my husband outside unloading our vehicle. He held the door open and checked that the room was up to our standards. Very impressed!

Clean, spacious room with fridge, microwave and Keurig-style coffee maker. Friendly staff. In spite of pandemic restrictions, they are still offering a hot breakfast. Right off the OH TPK, and lots of easy restaurant choices nearby.

I stayed in a king with sofa bed room. Very spacious, felt like a small apartment! King bed with a good sized tv, kind of a separate room with the sofa and a desk. Kitchen had a wet bar look with a sink and faucet and counter and a small refrigerator and microwave, and a very nice bathroom with a very nice showerhead. Great staff! Free breakfasts include eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, cereals, bagels, etc. etc.etc.! Very high grades from me and I've stayed at a lot and very nice places!

This was a perfect stay in every way and I stay in a lot of Holiday Inn Express and Courtyards for travel. Impeccably clean, quiet and staff so polite and welcoming. Breakfast was top-notch and the workers so attentive to keeping everything sparkling and full of food. Very impressed with this hotel!
