Hotel was very clean and neat. Customer service was pretty good. Had lots of issues with the door locks and a couple other technical things because of a lightning strike that mess some things up for the hotel. But I’d would definitely stay there again

We have stayed at this property a few times now, and it is always clean, check-in is easy, the bed is comfortable, and there are restaurants nearby. We will be choosing this hotel again for our future trips.

Ben, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor Stay...Do better!

The staff was friendly however, unfortunately, that was the only positive from our stay there. We had to move rooms because there was a small black jumping bug that jumped on my daughter when she sat on the bed. Then the next morning the guy doing the food, was slow to get food out. They did not have hardly anything out to choose from even though they has plenty of space for all the food options. We waited over 35mis for him to replace the pancake batter bag, which he never did. I would not stay here again which is unfortunate because I usually enjoy staying at Holiday Inn Expresses.

Holiday Inn Express Gainesville GA

The WiFi, tvs, and elevators were all out due to a lightning strike earlier in the week. When we arrived there was no AC in the stairwell or hallways in August in GA. Breakfast service was a little awkward with employees standing in front of the food discussing how to serve it. There were several signs missing. The water dispenser in the juice machine was out and there wasn’t any water offered in the lobby like there usually is. When we asked for water we were offered a cup for tap water from the bathroom before they finally decided we could have a “free” water bottle. We are usually really happy with Holiday Inn Express, but this was a disappointment. There was no one at the counter when we checked out to discuss our concerns with.
Sara, 2-night trip

I appreciated the cleanliness. It was hard to get good sleep with all the noise of neighbors each night.

Elevators and second floor (did not check other floors) smelled like dead fish. Common area and room had normal smell.
