The pool was cold, so my children preferred to swim in the lake. Breakfast was tasty but the variety was average. The front desk workers were not knowledgeable and didn’t seem motivated to help. The staff running the breakfast were kind and exceptionally helpful.

Bad plumbing, rock hard beds. No fun!
The plumbing was pretty wacky. Anytime I flushed the toilet, there'd be a loud knocking sound followed by loud squealing. I also heard it from other rooms. The shower pressure was so bad, it literally felt like someone was peeing on me. I have stayed in a fair few Holiday Inn Express hotels, but the bed on this one was incredibly hard. I woke in with back pain. I would not recommend this hotel. It absolutely is not worth the $200/night fee. I would like a refund.

The staff, service and cleanliness of the facilities were consistently good. My only issue were the channels available through the TV. I could not locate local channels, the golf channel was listed, but unavailable on the TV and I could not utilize my own Streaming Stick on the TV as an alternative. Less of a problem if staying just a night or two but I was here for a working week, so I noticed it more.
