I should've known by the almost-vacant parking lot that this place wasn't worth anything. That, or the $65 (too good to be true) price for 2 double beds. We walked into our room and saw a cleaning rag left on the desk. GROSS. My husband swiped it off to the floor. The room was fine. Nothing to write home about, but nothing more. After returning home that night, we couldn't get into our room our key card wasn't working. I went downstairs, and had to WAIT for the person on duty got done smoking her cigarette! Only when her boyfriend walked through the door and said "pshhhhh (to get my attention), she's coming" did I know that this was in fact the person on duty. (WTH??) After trying to go to sleep that night, and being awakened to people stomping above us from midnight for an hour, I decided that it was a crummy place. The walls were thin, and people had no respect for others at that hour of the night.

After a horrible night's sleep, my husband went downstairs to get coffee, and had to WAIT IN LINE FOR THE STAFF TO GET THEIR COFFEE! This is unacceptable!

However, I will say that the breakfast buffet was better than I imagined.

Overall, I would've been more disappointed had I paid $90 for a king bed, but wouldn't stay here again. I would've stayed in Hoover, near the Galleria, as I originally wanted. There's something to be said about paying for comfort.

This was a nice Holiday inn express. It was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was decent. You can't beat the location if you are going to a concert at Oak Mountain Ampitheater. It was very noisy in the halls after the concert, but that was not the hotel's fault. They did have a bit of security in that guests were asked to wear armbands so that could make sure that people belonged there. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave. There were plently of restaurants nearby. I'd definately stay there again.

Stayed here as a last minute change of plans. Very nice Lobby and breakfast areas. Rooms look a little dated but has been modernized enough for us. One night stay was perfect. There are plenty of choices for dinner in the immediate area. The hotel has quick access to the interstate and Big Truck parking.

We recently stayed here, July 28, and were not impressed. We are Priority Club members and try to at Holiday Inns when we travel. This one does meet the standards I have come to expect. Upon arrival they were 5 individuals sitting by the front doors with a stack of about 18 empty beer cans and they remained there late into the night. Not exactly what I want to walk my two young kids by every time we walk in and out. The hotel was clean but seems to be completely outdated. A massive renovation needs to be done. No other Holiday Inn I've been to had this old feeling to it. The pool was extremely cold and my kids were not able to swim. The rooms were stuffy and just had the feel of an old musty motel. The two pros to the hotel were the staff, who were polite, and the breakfast, which was nice. I can honestly say, my standards are not too high to stay in a place like this, I've stayed in worse, but this is a Holiday Inn and needs to resemble one. We stayed at two other Holiday Inns on this trip and the prices were comparable, but that was it. We will be traveling through the area again but will choose a different place next time.
