i recently stayed at a holiday inn express for a long weekend and it truly exceeded my expectations! the spacious standard king room had great amenities, and the staff members were super helpful throughout my stay. breakfast offered a nice variety, and the location was convenient for exploring marshalltown.

the road signage was unclear.

The room had a cozy layout with a mini fridge and microwave, which was perfect for keeping our vegan snacks fresh. The complimentary high-speed WiFi was a nice perk, and we loved unwinding after a long day with a 43-inch HDTV for some entertainment.

The breakfast options were limited for vegans.

the holiday inn express had nice rooms with good amenities. the location was decent although it was a bit hard to find. i loved the fitness center for a quick workout, and the staff working at night were really polite and helpful.

the road leading to the hotel could definitely use better signage.

Our linens felt damp while the cozy layout made our stay comfortable.

The hotel had a spacious room, was modern, and super clean. Loved the comfy bed and generous amenities.

The hotel's decor had a charming, modern touch, and I appreciated the easy accessibility of common areas. It felt welcoming and comfortable, making it a breeze for seniors to move about without any hassle.

More seating in the common areas would be nice.

I had a great time with my friends here. We enjoyed hiking and bird-watching in the nearby recreation area, and catching a movie at the Plaza 9 Theatres was a blast. The hotel had comfy rooms and a nice breakfast. Great value for a fun weekend getaway!

The only downside was the thin walls. we could hear some noise from the neighboring rooms at night.

Our stay at this hotel was enjoyable. We loved the spacious room which accommodated our large family, including our babies. The kids really appreciated the fun options available at the nearby outdoor recreation area where we could hike and biking together.

In my wife’s opinion, the hotel could use better soundproofing, as we could hear noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms.

The room was nicely sized, featuring good amenities that made the stay comfortable. Staff were polite and helpful during the night shift. However, the road signage leading to the hotel was poorly marked, which made finding it a bit challenging. The breakfast option was appreciated, although I didn’t partake. Cleanliness could be improved as well.

It was just an excellent fit for a weekend respite in Marshalltown with all in all brilliant value for money. The breakfast selection was nice, though the sausage and omelets could have been warmer. Make sure to look for someone for check-out in advance to avoid delays.
