We always stay at these hotels. And have done so several times. As it was a holiday weekend and we were having difficulties finding restaurants that were open. I wish that the staff on the desk would have some idea of what is open for restaurants and not in the area. It would be helpful as Google was not.

The hotel was very nice and the staff were professional and friendly. Everything was great except for one detail. I have stayed in a lot of hotels but this one have the loudest air conditioning unit I have heard. I had a 10 hour drive the next day and I did get to sleep like I needed.

This hotel was very clean and quiet. Convinient location, right off of the inerstate, which made getting around Carlisle easy. The room was decent in size and amenities offered. In room microwave, mini fridge, and keurig coffee machine. The complimentary breakfast was great. It was hot breakfast items and the coffee was by far the best I have had at a hotel. It has Costa brand coffee which was brewed with fresh coffee beans ground to make individual cups. Will be my choice when I return to this area to visit family and friends.

if you enjoy hearing the highway all night this is the hotel for you… the hotel was not busy but the girl put our room on the highway side so all we heard were trucks all night

staff in the evening was not friendly and we were basically a bother to her with our questions

there was coffee dried on the door to enter our room the mini fridge broke so not only did our food go bad but i joyfully woke up and stepped in a pile of water in the morning

the pool says heated it’s not heated in the slightest so be warned

the breakfast was mediocre so don’t have high expectations for it either you get some toast terrible cereal options for your children and the eggs were all burnt

Friendly staff, conveniently located right off the highway. I would try to get a room on the front side of the hotel (even room numbers) to minimize highway traffic noise. Great breakfast and well maintained facilities.

Great location

This hotel has so much to offer at a reasonable price. The room was incredibly clean and fit our family of 5 without feeling squished. The bathroom had all Dove products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap AND lotion!) which was a nice and surprising touch. Breakfast was great; very clean all around the food areas and the staff were out in the breakfast area a lot checking on stock and restocking as needed. The pool was a good size and the pool area felt comfortable. It was convenient having laundry services on site. My only two not real complaints but more like observations: the corridors and adjoining rooms were not the quietest (we heard lot of talking outside our room in the corridor when anyone walked by); and the common areas could use a little more attention to cleaning (such as washing the floors and wiping down the walls in the elevator). Other than those two minor things, we would seek out this hotel again.

Next to Interstate, but friendly staff, clean stay

This hotel is directly next to the interstate If you are light sleeper, choose a different hotel. As always, breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express was stellar. Staff was friendly.

Unfortunately, my stay was far from pleasant. The cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired—both the sink and toilet had visible stains, clearly not properly cleaned from the previous guest. The sink drained painfully slow, and the water pressure throughout the bathroom was weak. On top of that, the “hot” water was barely lukewarm. For the price I paid, I expected much better. The overall experience did not match the cost, and I left feeling disappointed and frustrated.

I liked almost everything about the place. Clean rooms, although the shower did not have much water pressure. Maybe it was just our room. Room 311. My real complaint is that my card was charged for all three rooms that I reserved before I got there. My room was cost split with someone, but we both got charged the full price. I think we have it worked out now. I will probably still stay there next year. Also the breakfast was great!

We were only there to sleep. Got there at 130am and left by 8. Did get coffee and tea in the morning! Comfy beds. Noisy in the morning as our room was by a side entrance and it sounded like folks were walking through our room. But it was clean.

Dirty rooms. Housekeeping not cleaning!

The room was not clean! Pillows smelled of mould, shower walls had hairs on the walls, and brown spot on toilet lid. Housekeeping OPENED my door at 9:44 am. Didn’t say housekeeping or anything. Knocked once and then opened the door - didn’t wait for a response. Checkout is at 11 so no idea why they’re disturbing people early!!! Totally inappropriate!! Especially a man walking in a room with one female guest!

BACKUP

This is a hotel i have stayed at before. I am slowly watching this property go down hill. My stay a year ago was fabulous. My stay 3 months ago ok . This time not so good.. Lights not working. Plumbing backing up. Noisy in the hallway all night.. My overall grip is WHY THE DRAINS ARE BACKED UP IN THE BATHROOM SINK AND TUB.. If room is cleaned doesn't the cleaner see that sink is clogged and say something. I will never understand

This property was the highest price hotel i looked at for this visit. First day trip to swi.ming pool, heated, nice until we see a bloody bandaid laying in the pool. Second day the bloody bandaid still there so obviously pool is not cleaned daily.
The sosp, shampoo holder in our shower was so scummy underneath it fell off the ledge intto the tub. Underneath was slimy, also sosp scum spots on shower walls. Spoke to the desk attendant on Saturday morning who assured us it would be cleaned. It was NOT!!!
Boyfriend tried to soak in tub and the plug didnt work.
4th floor end of hall window looks like a 3 yr old swiped it yo clean it.
Elevator floors were DISGUSTING all weekend, were NOT mopped!!!
Orange juice appeared to be very watered down on Saturday morning.....otherwise breakfast wasokay.
For $541 this was UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!

Finally found a good one

This hotel has become my favorite hotel for my regular trip back and forth from NC to NY. A little pricey but worth it.. There is nothing so refreshing after driving 8 hours then to walk into a nice clean hotel room that looks good and smells good... Thank you Holiday Inn Express...

Hotel is immediately off the exit, which we liked a lot. Room was good. It was a room for 6. Many breakfast options. Pool opens very early and stays open late.

Coffee available 24-7. Other beverages for sale behind the counter late night if needed. Hershey park is about 40 mins away but an easy drive.
