I've stayed here a few times now. The rooms are nice for a small town. I will stay here again. However, I will never go to the restaurant again. Service is horrible. I had to seat myself because nobody was around. I sat there for 13 minutes before I finally got up, and walked through the doors back in the... More

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I hope you try us again in the future. We pride ourselves on our staff and service and I am so sorry we let you down. Next time... More

For me, the location of this property made it perfect for my needs. I was attending a conference at Shawnee State, and I was within walking distance not only of the campus but also the riverfront area. (Don't miss the murals on the floodwall!) There were also some cute little antique shops within walking distance, and I enjoyed myself there.... More

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our hotel. I hope in the future you will honor us with that extra star you are withholding. Your experience is very important to us and we appreciate you being our guest. The beauiful bridge you saw out your window is the Grant Bridge and it took over 5 years to... More

Hotel was fine and clean. Probably family friendly in a safe area (police HQ across the street) Avoid the restaurant in the hotel and go elsewhere. I didn't have time to use the pool but it looked great. The hotel has been remodeled and could have been better, but it's Portsmouth so you have very few choices.

The sad part is that there would not be another place to recommend staying in the area. Portsmouth doesn't offer much. But for the business traveler, hopefully you don't have to stay long! The fitness center is in desperate need of repair. The one treadmill at its highest speed is barely even fast enough for a jog. And it skips.... More

I apologize to you, and I fill bad we let you down. The computer in the business center is a new Windows 8, and the staff has brought it to my attention that you were having problems loading your program. Microsoft Office has been loaded. Our Front Desk staff are always happy to help our guest with their business needs.... More

I stayed in a King room on the fourth floor facing the street. The room was very comfortable and the view of the Kentucky hill across the river was pleasant. When you leave the room, push on the door to make sure it is latched. The one thing I did not like about the room was the toilet. It was... More

There are few hotel options in Portsmouth, OH, so I chose the Holiday Inn express over the Comfort Inn based on my previous experiences with the brands and the similar ratings on TripAdvisor. The hotel itself appear in decent condition and the lobby/restaurant pool area appear newly remodeled and modern. On the otherhand the elevator and guest room hallways reveal... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn from Saturday 5th May until Friday 11th May and then from Sunday 13th May until Saturday 19th May 2012. The days between were spent in the Cave city area of Kentucky.

We have been here the last three years for the Roy Rogers Festival and have been pleased with the progress as this hotel changed from an old run down Ramada to the Holiday Inn Express. Considering the shape the place was before I'm surprised it wasn't torn down but they have done a good job with the remodel. There are... More

A Big Howdy to you! Good news, we have signed a contract to redo the elevator, we will also be adding a second elevator in the future. The Roy Rogers Festival has been a celebration in our community for the last 30 years. Of course, Roy Rogers has been in our hearts much longer. The King of the cowboys would... More

First thing, Rich at the front desk was rude and condesending. I checked in very late, 1:00am, I was tired and didn't need the extra crap. then got a room that was hot and old with a nex coat of paint. The best feature of the hotel was the breakfast the next morning (NOT included inthe room cost). the staff... More

We only had a meal there but the staff was very accommodating to our requests for our elderly member. The lobby is very nice and is very clean. We were taking a family history visit to the area - it is the home of Branch Ricky and my husband's family.
