Great Place
Reviewed By M2922OLtammyrWe have stayed a few times with my son attending Kent. Very friendly and accommodating. They are short staffed as is anyone but go above and beyond especially in the restaurant. We had to wait our last day but understood they had a conference going on as well.

Avoid
Reviewed By J7999RAmichaelmAn awful visit started without wifi and continued with a white comforter stained with yellow spots, a toilet with sprinkled nether hair from former guests, and dirty floors. The somewhat better replacement room still darkened my white socks. Said room was missing sheets on one of the twin beds. The hotel staff were nice, but seemed somewhat oblivious. I would avoid this hotel if possible.

Great Stay!
Reviewed By BritishcatsExcellent Holiday Inn Express! Very, very clean. Our room was a suite that was thoughtfully designed—plenty of outlets for devices, lamps and an under counter light above the microwave and sink, a small refrigerator, a large desk with a comfortable chair, also a comfortable arm chair and a large sofa. Plenty of floor space so we were not running into one another. Bathroom with more than enough space and a large counter where you could actually place supplies! Wonderful beds and pillows plus great water pressure, enough towels and lots of hot water. And—friendly and helpful front desk staff. Highly recommended.

Not Worth the Money
Reviewed By moevanderbiltI will not stay there again. I have nothing good to say other than the check-in and check-out went ok. Other than that, the hotel is below basic. I had to go to the front desk to ask for an iron and ironing board.

Early check in nightmare
Reviewed By mackenzie888477Just wanted to have an early check in to spend more time with my partner, he had to leave at 8 so check in of 3 only gave us 5 hours. I was told early check in couldn't be guaranteed on weekends. So I booked an entire night I knew I wouldn't be there just so I could check in at 10am the next day. They cancelled and refunded the first night as a no show. Then trying to check in early was a nightmare

Trust the bad reviews!!!
Reviewed By 110erinaNever in my life stayed at such a s***hole. Booked 2 rooms for a wedding that was held nearby. Pictures look NOTHING like they have posted. The place is just GROSS. Dying flowers in the lobby. Crackheads walking around at all hours. Only one room was ready so 3 people had to quickly get ready in one bathroom (it also had the only mirror in the room). Went to the desk again to ask to get into the second room, but the bed was not ready. I explained that we really needed in and did not need the bed made at the moment (just the bathroom) and the guy at the desk said we had to pay before we went in (of course). So I had to to grab cash and when I went to pay he tried to charge me more than the first room. He had to look up the reservation information (tick tock tick tock) then finally we got in. The faucet in the bathroom had NO water pressure. Pretty much same story for the water in the toilet. Hair balls on the ground. Just nasty. Got back from event and found the police there. Nice. They stayed and stayed so I called the desk and said there are drunk people there all the time so the police patrol there. Went to bed after that and the sheets felt like construction paper. The shower had a shower head that didn’t fit properly and sprayed the water all over the wall instead of straight down. Needless to say I couldn’t get out fast enough. Even a $50 is not worth it. Spend the extra money to stay at an even semi-nice place.
