Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Salina by IHG

Our room was SO comfortable. We used the sleeper sofa and my son said it was comfortable as far as sleeper sofas go. Everything looks brand new. The pillows were AMAZING and we all agreed they made the nights sleep better. We got up and had breakfast in the morning and everything was really good. I had biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were VERY soft. No hockey pucks like a lot of places. My boys used the automatic pancake maker and said the pancakes were great. The staff member working when we checked in was really friendly. The woman keeping the breakfast area clean and stocked was also incredibly friendly and was working hard making sure everything stayed cleaned and stocked. She was really on top of everything. Breakfast staff don’t get enough credit. She made sure everything out there was presented well and was staying fresh.

Only a couple of downsides. The kids were really excited to use the hot tub. We all got dressed and went downstairs and it looks like it fell victim to the remodel and was filled in. We decided to get in the pool but it’s not heated in any way so it was FREEZING. Also the shower curtains are too short so we had to mop up the puddles of water after our showers.

Breakfast was good, Beds were very comfortable and the pool area appeared well kept and clean. The lady at check out was very friendly.

A little road noise from I 70 but not bad enough to affect our sleep, we kept the hvac unit fan on low continuous and it covered up almost all traffic sounds

Glad to see they had gluten free bagels.

Would like to have gluten free toast/muffins. Would also prefer scrambled eggs with yolks and better quality sausages/bacon. The air conditioning in the room we had booked wasn’t working. We were finally moved to another room, the only other one they had. It, however did not have 2 queen beds like we had wanted. It had a king bed. It was okay, but a little disappointing!

Location, friendly staff

It appeared that either this is a brand new or recently remodeled room. The sitting area just had a regular chair in it, no couch or easy chair. The TV was not hooked up to their Direct TV satellite system.
