“Old Building.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

When you turn into the parking lot you thing that you must have miss the turn to Holiday Inn Express; for it doesn't resemble any other Holiday Inn Expresses. Gentlemen at the front desk needs to take lesson on how to be friendly from the lady who checked us in and the housekeepers. The decor of the room was very bland but clean. They do have an area where you can purchase a few snacks. The basket filled with peanut butter, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies that they put out late afternoon are very good.

“Too few non-smoking rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

I needed to be in the area and found very few hotels from which to choose. I took the LAST room, which happened to be a smoking room. I am non-smoker myself, but thought how bad could it be for only one nigh? Well, I soon found out...it was plenty bad. The room positively reeked of smoke! I awoke at 2 am, unable to return to sleep because of the offensive odor. The following day I thought I might have a cold with symptoms of runny nose and frequent sneezing bouts. But by the next day, my symptoms had completely disappeared so I attributed them to my unfortunate smoking room stay.

Had I been able to choose a non-smoking room, I would have rated the hotel higher. It was comfortable, with nice amenities and a decent breakfast. Perhaps my review will encourage the owners to make the entire hotel non-smoking in the near future!

“Confusion corrected!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

We really like Holiday Inn Express. And Tay frequently in different locations.
We are platinum priority members, so expect upgrades etc.
We had booked. A king room for four nights.
There were two reservations. These were made online with priority plus.
Somehow thre nights were booked as generic room, only the last night was the king as ordered.
We complained on arrival and were told that the hotel was fully booked and we could not be given the king almost ion, but would be moved. In two days.
This occurred seamlessly. With the staff mong our luggage up a floor and settling us into the much larger and more comfortable king room.

“Older hotel. Rooms & breakfast OK. Not recently remodeled.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Not nearly as nice as some of the Holiday Inn Express properties I've stayed at. Hotel was full (I saw them turn someone away), so we were in the older section of the hotel on the second floor. No elevator access to this section. I suspect this property barely passes the Holiday Inn Express minimum standards.

Nevertheless, good hotels are very expensive in this area, and at $162 inc. tax, I got pretty much what I expected. I would guess my room was redone over 6 years ago. It was quiet and clean enough and breakfast was fine.

If you're picky, expect to pay more than $300 for a decent room in the Ft. Lauderdale, Boca, West Palm area.

“An Okay Place in Central Boca”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

This Holiday Inn Express is just west of the Florida Turnpike exit on Glades Road. Super convenient to that area, and practically across the street from a Starbucks.
We had a room on the third floor in what has been called the "newer section" of the hotel. This section was actually new a long time ago, and has lost a bit of luster over the years. When I made the reservation three months in advance I requested two adjoining rooms on the fourth floor. Several times I was told that this request would be considered, but could not be guaranteed. When I checked in I got two rooms neither adjoining nor on the fourth floor. So much for their consideration.
The rooms were pretty standard. One actually had pictures on the wall over the beds. The second could easily be labeled spartan. Bathrooms were clean. There was free wi-fi very easily accessed. The breakfast was adequate but limited. The breakfast area was pleasant compared to many in similar motels.
My most serious complaint -- the beds. The matresses should have been replaced many nights ago. The sides closest to the center lamp were several inches lower than the outer sides, and the springs on the inner sides gave little support. One was forced to the outer edge of the matress (away from the light) for comfort, there to grasp the edge preventing a return to the depths.
Staff was fine. Their uniforms reminded me of bus driver from the 1960's.

Room Tip: Stay away from the Glades Road side.
