Why is there no rating for the bed? It seems like there is something fishy going on there is no rating for bad. The bed was lumpy. I think there should be three main measures of a hotel room: bad, does the heat/AC work, And the noise level of the heat/AC. The AC ran just fine. But none of this matters if you have a crappy bed.

It is always such a joy to stay at the Holiday Inn Express Airport for dance competitions and unfortunately this was the last time that you will get to see this mama and her dancer as we graduated this year feel free to keep being awesome to all the dance competition venues that come there as it is extremely chaotic for these parents to deal with these dramatic children and you staff are Saints. The only suggestion I had was I believe it was that weekend that we came and they had had some Farmers convention or something the day before and they didn't clear out the tables so we couldn't utilize the big area by the pool to run dances which was a very nice convenient area for us

Looks like a bit of maintenance would be useful. For example, a wall in the bedroom was repainted but the paint did not quite match the previous paint. The air conditioner needs to be sealed. It was apparent that outside air was entering the room. The television color needs to be adjusted (it was too blue).

Fair

Satisfactory stay. We had stopped prior to going to the fair to ask a question about leaving a trailer and no one was at the desk for over 10 minutes, an employee sitting out front smoking said they were probably in the bathroom. Difficult to get a trailer in and divided road complicated getting on to 80. Walls a bit thin, our neighbors were quite loud. Towels over front desk upon arrival seemed a bit unsanitary. Front desk staff should not need to fold towels while guests are checking in.

Nice room but LOUD!

Enjoyed the stay for the most part. Unfortunately the family above us had what felt like 10+ kids running around until about 11pm. We have 2 younger kids and would have liked to enjoy some time relaxing before bed without listening to a rodeo above us. We contacted the front desk three times and asked them to help us mitigate the situation but unfortunately we had to wait until they tired themselves out.

I will never stay at this hotel again. Our FIRST room had a broken shower so we had to ask for a new room…our SECOND room was musty and smelled like mold. Is there any general maintenance happening? There was a ton of kids which isn’t normally an issue (I also have a kid) but it seems like they all had their own rooms and we were on the same floor as them as they banged and yelled down the halls. The halls were dirty with liqour bottle caps on the ground and just all around trashy. The only decent thing about this hotel was the staff.

Everything was good with a few exceptions. My family stayed here during an across country move while 8 months pregnant and upon checking in we were told by a man on night staff that we may be kicked out if the hotel next door calls the police on us for parking moving truck in the parking lot. Mind you we parked in the lot that was owned by Holiday in, but apparently it is against Holiday in policy to have large trucks in their parking lot. Not sure why this even involves the hotel next door. So if you have a large vehicle, I would advise to call ahead and make sure they won’t be weird about it when you are checking in. Also another bummer was that there were massive clumps of hair in the swimming pool that is pretty gross. And to follow up the breakfast was good but mildly disappointing. Holiday inn usually has a decent selection of breakfast, but it was definitely not as pictured. There were no omelets or bacon available as you would expect with the Holiday inn continental breakfast. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Over all we had a decent one night stay for our long move from Arizona to Michigan.
