“Perfect for the traveling business person”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I travel over 35,000 miles each year in my car covering Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. I spend two to three nights a week in hotels. I have stayed at this Holiday Inn Express over a dozen times in the last three years and I look forward to my stays. The rooms have always been clean and comfortable, the staff is hospitable and friendly. They serve a good breakfast and they have very reasonable rates. It is the best hotel available in the area and it is family friendly. On several occasions the staff has gone out of their way to help me make my stay more enjoyable.

Room Tip: I always ask for a room on the North side of the buliding because they seem to be the most quiet.

“Better than the Hilton....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel was a little hard to find because it is off the beaten path, but what a find!!!! The staff treated me just like family, which is nice after traveling across country and dealing with employees from everything from toll booths to hotels.... They sent us to several local establishments which only locals could know about. The room was fantastically clean. The housekeeping staff were so nice, checking before they left for the day to see if we needed anything else. The breakfast and breakfast bar attendant were terrific...it is a total hot breakfast, just not left over donuts and cold coffee. We had biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs everyday!! We've stayed with 5 star hotels before, and this one is right up there with them!!! Nancy and her staff are 100% Grade A # 1's!!!!

“Unfortunately there isn't a better option”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have no doubt that this was the nicest hotel available in the area, but it still wasn't an enjoyable experience. The room was spacious but outdated, and there was a cigarette burn in the blanket on the end of the bed. The elevator and hallways were musty and smelled like smoke and the water stunk. There was no luggage rack to set our suitcase on because it was being used to hold up the mini fridge. There also seemed to be something going on with the AC because it was super loud when it was running, and then would make clanking noises when it went off. We were staying 2 nights and had confirmed with the mgr (who was working the desk) that we had reservations for both nights when we checked in on Friday. On Saturday, one of the front desk clerks left a voicemail stating that we only had reservations for one night and that we needed to come get our stuff out ASAP because they had already rented the room. My husband gave her the confirmation number and she was able to find the reservation. We returned to the hotel dog tired late that night and double checked with the front desk clerk that our key would still work because of the reservation mix-up. She told us yes, so we went up to our room and of course, the key didn't work. Went back downstairs and she reprogrammed the key. Went back upstairs and the key worked so we went in our room to shower and go to bed. Apparently, housekeeping had come and taken ALL of our towels and not replaced them with fresh ones because of the reservation mix-up-called downstairs and told the front desk clerk we had no towels. Her response was, "Well I have some down here if you want to come get them." Went back downstairs and got towels, and went back upstairs for the third time, before we were finally able to shower and go to bed. Would only stay here again because there isn't a better option.

Very nice. A little out of the way, but worth it. Quiet and very comfortable. Very nice and friendly staff.

“Decent, but noisy and smells of smoke”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel was decent with nice staff and tasty breakfast. However, the hallways smelled of cigarette smoke. Our non-smoking room didn't smell, but you notice it as soon as you exit your room. Rooms were very spacious. Also, the hotel has little insulation. We could hear the nearby interstate as well as what sounded like a herd of elephants at 2am in the room above us. In terms of location, there aren't many other hotels in the area, so this could be your only option. It's clean, but definitely not impressive in sound-proofing or smells.
