BACKUP

This is a hotel i have stayed at before. I am slowly watching this property go down hill. My stay a year ago was fabulous. My stay 3 months ago ok . This time not so good.. Lights not working. Plumbing backing up. Noisy in the hallway all night.. My overall grip is WHY THE DRAINS ARE BACKED UP IN THE BATHROOM SINK AND TUB.. If room is cleaned doesn't the cleaner see that sink is clogged and say something. I will never understand

A modern look, feels worth the cost. The indoor pool is very warm! That sofa bed in our suite needs a new mattress, very lumpy. Breakfast was fine.

This property was the highest price hotel i looked at for this visit. First day trip to swi.ming pool, heated, nice until we see a bloody bandaid laying in the pool. Second day the bloody bandaid still there so obviously pool is not cleaned daily. The sosp, shampoo holder in our shower was so scummy underneath it fell off the ledge intto the tub. Underneath was slimy, also sosp scum spots on shower walls. Spoke to the desk attendant on Saturday morning who assured us it would be cleaned. It was NOT!!! Boyfriend tried to soak in tub and the plug didnt work. 4th floor end of hall window looks like a 3 yr old swiped it yo clean it. Elevator floors were DISGUSTING all weekend, were NOT mopped!!! Orange juice appeared to be very watered down on Saturday morning.....otherwise breakfast wasokay. For $541 this was UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!

Finally found a good one

This hotel has become my favorite hotel for my regular trip back and forth from NC to NY. A little pricey but worth it.. There is nothing so refreshing after driving 8 hours then to walk into a nice clean hotel room that looks good and smells good... Thank you Holiday Inn Express...
