Start your day with our complimentary breakfast buffet, enjoy a dip in our heated outdoor pool and whirlpool, and unwind in spacious rooms. Welcome to paradise!
Overall, it's not a bad stay, I'd say just average or slightly above average. The bed is a tad bit too soft to me.
However my biggest dislike is about the light pollution, there are just way too much light bleed through into the room.
1. the light on the balcony is too bright, and the curtain is not black-out enough to block the window. 2. the door can use some weather stripping at the bottom, the light that shine through the bottom crack is like a LED strip.
the 2nd night I got a hold of an eye mask and it's better. So bring one of your own!

The building is very old. Given the location they are probably very limited with any change to the original structure. It’s been updated inside. The main problem I had was the price. The night before this stay I stayed at a Candlewood in Bowling Green for less than half the price and the experience was twice as good! I know prices vary by the area and event but that’s just nuts!

Disappointing Experience and Poor Customer Service
ByHH24fromSC
We booked a standard/flexible room at Holiday Inn Express & Suites through the IHG app for a Friday night stay, checking in around midnight. Upon arrival, we were assigned a mobility accessible (handicapped) room, which we did not like especially because of the specific shower design in that room.
We immediately returned to the front desk to request a switch to any room that was not handicapped. The front desk staff claimed there were no other rooms available. However, when we checked the IHG app in real time for that exact hotel, we saw at least two rooms still available (both 1 King and 2 Queen bed options) that were not marked as accessible.
Despite telling this to her, she continued to insist that no rooms were available. On top of that, she was unwelcoming, dismissive, and acted arrogantly, making the experience even more frustrating.
When we asked for a refund due to our decision not to stay under those conditions, she told us she would inform the manager and have someone follow up with us. Unfortunately, this never happened. I called the hotel again the next day and was told once more that the manager would be informed and would contact us. It’s now been over a week, and we have received no response.
This experience was incredibly disappointing, not just due to the room situation but more so because of the lack of professionalism, transparency, and customer service from the staff. We’ve stayed at many Holiday Inn Express locations before and have never encountered such an unhelpful attitude.
We hope IHG reviews this location’s practices and ensures that other guests don’t have to go through the same experience.

It had a bug in room 204. I had to killed it. I wasn’t happy about finding the bug. I also let the front know but I didn’t even get an apology. I even took a picture of it and showed it to the front desk. I am very disappointed because when I travel to Texas I stay there.

I like booking with Holiday Inn because of your dependable quality, service, and cleanliness. However, I was disappointed in my most recent stay. There was a candy wrapper on the floor and 4 jack daniel bottle caps in the nightstand drawer next to the holy bible. The tissue box was completely empty. The tub leaked and the toilet had stains. The USB ports were all broken and I was unable to charge my phone. The beds were not comfortable and felt like they were covered in plastic or something hard. If I were not so exhausted and hadn’t lugged in my stuff, I would have walked right out. The staff member who checked me in was wearing a champion hoodie and not easily identifiable as a hotel employee. I had to wait for someone to find her initially to be helped as well. This particular location discredits the Holiday Inn name and standard.

Not the first stay; but definitely the last. Even after coming after 5 pm; I had to wait for my non-smocking room readiness for around 20 minutes ! Upon entering the room; the smoking smell was SUPER and non-bearable. I went down to the reception and claimed about it (because no one was answering the phone); They said sorry but we are fully booked and this is the only room we can offer.
Very disappointed. !

A smart stopover hotel at Aberdeen International Airport where breakfast is always included Holiday Inn Express® Aberdeen Airport hotel is a few minutes’ walk from the terminal.

Major events at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre are a 15-minute taxi ride away. Hop on a bus at the airport to reach Aberdeen city centre in half an hour. If you’re in town on business, brief your team in our 12-person meeting room . Major companies cluster in the ABZ and D2 business parks nearby, and in the Bridge of Don district, a short drive away. If you've got time to relax, try a leisurely 18 holes at the seafront Royal Aberdeen Golf Club .

This hotel does not allow guests to drop off their luggage at the hotel. Every taxi in town will not stop at this hotel as it has a parking eye at the entrance. You therefore have to walk with all your luggage. Also if you attempt to park your outside to drop off your luggage and check in you will receive a fine of £100. I would advise you avoid this hotel at all cost unless you like paying £100 parking fines.
