They've got the express part right! Everything was done quickly, some things too quickly!
We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express because they had the free breakfast, a indoor pool and hot tub. We expected it to be a pleasant place to lay our heads after visiting with the family for Thanksgiving. Ummmm.... It was a place to lay our heads at least.
When we first checked in we were told that we would receive the first room at the top of the stairs on the left. When we walked up you could smell the smoke from the rooms down the hall. Our room said non-smoking though.
We get into the room after several attempts with our door key and find a stale aroma. It just didn't seem like it had been stayed in for a while. There were crumbs on the floor, the room was stifling, the bathroom shower stall had hair in it and the bed skirts had stains. Oh and there was no elevator!
We thought.... we can deal with this, it's not that bad, and we are only here for a couple of days.
The view was great too! When you opened the blinds to look outside you got a great look at the shingles! We dealt with it all... *no biggie; we are only here for a few days*
The first morning I woke up and went to make coffee. The grossest thing, there was still coffee grinds from the people before us. EWWWWWW! I threw it out and went downstairs for breakfast.
The breakfast buffet
The eggs were rubbery, the sausage gravy tasted like cardboard with pepper, the biscuits were hard and the cinnamon rolls tasted like leftovers. I ended up with coffee and banana.
That night
We went to bed at about 11pm. We are laying there and start to hear a repetitive thud like a body was being dragged up the stairs. After a while of listening to this my husband went to investigate. As it turns out a basket ball team showed up. So we had 20 some and some odd number of college kids coming up the stairs. But wait that's not all! In each room there are 2 queen beds, and the basket ball team was sleeping 3 to a room. That thud we kept hearing was them lugging the fold-away-beds up the stairs. This went on for about an hour.
We finally get to sleep and then they decide that they were all going outside for whatever reason. Of course they all had to take the stairwell beside our room! GRRRRRR!
The next morning we get up and take the girls downstairs for breakfast. The buffet was so bad the basketball team wouldn't even eat it! *Those boys are like garbage disposals; they'll eat anything!*
We decided to leave. We had enough.
