“DISAPPOINTED”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at this hotel to attend a wedding and were expecting to experience an enjoyable stay, however, this was not the case. Shortly after check in,I was relaxing in the room after a long drive and was surprised by another guest entering our room. This person informed me that they, too, were assigned to our room. We received a call from the front desk regarding this, but no apology was forthcoming. After returning from dinner a short time later, we realized that our room keys had been deactivated...another inconvenience. Breakfast the next morning was the icing on the cake...no juice of any kind (machine out of order), no pancakes (machine out of order),had to share milk with other guests (no individual cartons, just a half empty gallon), dry eggs, undercooked sausage, and a breakfast attendant who requested that the guests give her tips. ( for what? getting everything myself and cleaning my own table?). We have stayed at Holiday Inn Express properties before and were very satisfied, but this particular one was a disappointment.

“A Great Hitel Near The Villages”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

This is one of the nicest Holiday Inn Expresses that we have stayed in. The hotel is in a beautiful treed area east of The Villages. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast is basic with coffee , juices, make your own pancakes and fruit. The staff at the front desk was knowledgeable and accommodating. We stayed here to visit a couple that lived in the west area of the mammoth adult community of The Villages. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in this area.

“Weekend at the Villages”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

Great stay, Pet Friendly which is very important in fact since we arrived with doggie and had told them during our reservations, we weren't even charged the $35 per stay fee. So tell them upfront. Awesome. Breakfast was a good choice of foods, nice selections. All staff we encountered were so friendly. Clean room, what else do you need!

Room Tip: We stayed on the 3rd floor and was convenient for us even with the Dog

“Nice and Clean Property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

I stayed here for business while waiting on a group that was at a nearby youth camp for a few nights with a bus. The Hotel has an adequate parking lot for buses. My room was great. I was happy there was a guest laundry room there. The Hot breakfast is great but needs to have a rotating variety of hot items by the day. It gets boring of not having variety on multi day stays. I had to go to Perkins to get a different breakfast which was not bad. I would recommend this hotel.
It is also in walking distance to a shopping center, dining, Publix Supermarket and a movie theater. Also there is a Hertz neighborhood rental agency nearby. The Shopping center is in front of The Villages which is what I call "The Golden Ghetto" which has homes for the retirees, Golf Course and other activities. You can even have your custom made golf cart there. Never saw so many golf carts in my life.
If you are driving around Florida using the Toll roads in your own personal car, I would strongly advise getting a Sunpass because some of the exits of Fla. Turnpike do not have a human toll booth collector anymore. Also note this property is far from Disney. Over 1 plus hour away depending on traffic. The Beaches are over 1 hour and 45 minutes away minimum depending on which beach you go to.

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 6, 2012 via mobile

I was initially going to write a poor review starting with feeling as though the pillows were stuffed with handfuls of cottonballs, but then I decided that was because I was grumpy checking in at 2:30am. Clean hotel and rooms, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, hot breakfast, and within walking distance of one of the village squares and restaurants.
