This used to be the best hotel in town but the quality has really fallen off in the last year. They don't keep things up to date like other Expresses and it's really showing its age, and besides the equipment in the exercise facility is always broken. They used to have very friendly employees who would go out of their way to help you out but now most of the staff come off as rude and incompetent. There was hardly anybody in the hotel at Christmastime but it was nearly impossible to get anybody to respond to my problems. The ladies at the front desk are always on their cell phones and act like any problem you have with your room is your problem and not theirs. And also it's impossible to talk to a manager if you have a problem because they avoid you or else they really were not there after Christmas for several days. Also it's not a good value for the high price. You can get a room for $30 or $40 less at the Rodeway down the street and they offer everything the same. They say they're building a new up to date Holiday Inn in the town but if it has the same employees and managers it's not worth it, especially if the prices are the same. They already told me the prices would be higher though because it's a new motel, but I won't be staying there because of the poor service. Save your money and go to the Rodeway or Super Eight.
