“Very nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

This was our first time to visit in Allen, Texas. WE arrived at our hotel and were impressed with the outside. Everything was well groomed and very clean. The inside was just as inviting. We were greeted and got checked in in a timely manner and given our priority gift. Our room was on the first floor as we had asked for and it was most inviting.Our stay was excellent. The bed was excellent. The room and the halls were very quiet. Breakfast was excellent and a very friendly staff greeted us upon our arrival for breakfast. We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and others. The location was very close to our meeting, shopping , and eating.

“Convenient location for us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013 via mobile

The hotel was nice. It had everything we've come to expect from a Holiday Inn Express, where we stay more than 60 nights per year. The breakfast was very good. The room was clean. Check-in was fast. We will stay here again.

“Big fluffy towels, clean and convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

We stayed here as a stop on our way home from a quick trip and needed somewhere clean, quiet, comfortable and convenient. That is what we found here. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was as expected. We plan to make this our stopping point each time we make that quick trip.

“Comfortable Stay, for me.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

Have always stayed an another chain hotel when in Allen, but because of this hotel's location, decided to try it. Was pleasantly surprised--nice hotel, great staff and comfortable, clean accomodations. Located within walking distance of an Arby's, a Mexican restaurant, and an incredibly long strip shopping center that has a Tom Thumb Grocery (a hefty walk from the hotel) as well as many other shopping options. The breakfast was good (loved the pancake machine!). This is standard Holiday Inn Express facility--nothing fancy, but very adequate for the business traveler. I got a good rate, as well! Member of my work group all shared that we would stay at this hotel, again. The only detraction I can offer was a confused reservation (mine was attached to another member of my party). It had to be repaired at both check-in and check-out. Staff were quick to respond--so it really didn't end up being that big of a deal.

Room Tip: Stay on the side oopposite the freeway.

“Would never stay here...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

I'm not one to write a review, I actually have never but I thought I would warn the next person so they wouldn't waste money on a room that wasn't worth but maybe $40 tops. When i arrived the check in was good, a very nice lady helped me, and gave me directions to where we wanted to go. When we went to the room, first thing i noticed was a big dried up spot of sauce on the carpet. Bathroom smelled of mold and tub was rusted along the faucet area. Beds were comfortable so no complaint there. The next morning, woke up to find a cockroach crawling along the wall. Went to check out, made a complaint to the front desk about the cockroach, and all i got was a $10 discount. So i paid about $80 for my room after all was said and done. WILL NEVER stay here again!

Thank you for taking your time to leave us a few comments. We are glad you enjoyed the ease of checking in and the comfort of the bed during your stay with us. We try to ensure that our guests enjoy a stress free stay. We have always had professional pest control services at the hotel, and we have since followed up with them. We appreciate you for bringing it to our attention. We have notified the Housekeeping Department of your comments. The Maintenance Department inspected the bathroom and did not see any traces of rust in the tub and the faucets are made of Brass which does not rust.

After checking in, we would hope that guests would call the front desk to notify of any issues. If guests are not pleased with their room they can always request a room change, if available, so they may be at peace before they go to sleep. We hope you give us another try during your next visit to Allen.
