The beds and pillows were comfortable . Staff was very nice. The room had black mold in the bathroom both on the walls and in the shower. There were beer tabs and trash behind the chair in the room.

Room had a smell to it. Carpets in the room were very dirty and stained. Beds were comfortable and loved pillows. Did not get much sleep because of all the noise in the hallway.

As a business traveler with a truck and trailer, my biggest concern everywhere I go is the safety of my truck and customer product onboard. ZERO complaints for here. Very friendly and accommodating. I will continue to stay when coming through the area.

The property was over all nice, every time we walked back in the room it smelled stinky a little bit but other than that the stay was good. The location was nice and close to a lot of things.

We just needed clean place, a comfy bed, and a warm shower and this was fine for this. They didn't have any bottled water and that was kind of a bummer but not a really big deal.

Everything smelled very clean and the breakfast was awesome. The girls that managed the breakfast area did a wonderful job! I wish there was an ice machine in every floor.

The hotel was okay. Not exactly the level that I expect from Holiday Inn Express.
Disappointing was the hot tub. The website shows a hot tub but when we arrived, we found that it had been filled in with concrete. Very disappointing after a long day of travel. Breakfast was just okay. Lacking things we have some to expect from the brand.

Great water pressure in the shower and the rooms were clean at check-in. However "due to COVID" there was no daily housekeeping. A sign read that the rooms are cleaned on Wednesday only, but only if you have been there already for 5 days. We checked in on Tuesday and the following day, housekeeping knocked once on the door, then attempted to enter the room without identifying themselves. There was rarely anyone at the desk. Housekeeping staff taking breaks out in the hallway, and smoking right outside the front entrance. At one point when staff was at the desk, they were speaking with another staff member, who dropped the f-bomb. The beds were uncomfortable and room data. Bring your charging blocks, as there are no USB ports in the room. The walls are very thin and could here the people next door and the windows did not reduce traffic noise. The pool was cold and the hot tub water looked murky. Not a Holiday Inn Express experience.

Expected a little more from the Holiday Inn. Pool was cold and never had towels available. Building/rooms are getting old. Hot items at breakfast were great and what makes this hotel different/better than others.

Pool was closed which we never knew. Some Electrical outlets in our room didn’t work. Our ice machine on our floor didn’t work. No vending machines. I don’t think I will stay there again on my next trip to Waterloo

The pool and hot tub were broken. The person at the front desk was rather rude when I asked about it. If I had known they were unable to be used I would’ve made reservations somewhere else! The tv remote didn’t work unless you were right up next to the tv. The shower had mold.
