Disappointing compared to other IHEs
This was our 3rd HIE to stay in within a week. The other two HIE’s were awesome with cleanliness. This room smelled like dirty feet which raised my concern about the rest of the room. Some hair on the tile floor made me wonder if they even vacuumed. The bed was comfortable.

Awesome stop on a trip from Nashville to Tulsa. Only negative was not much of a selection for breakfast. Probably my fault for not getting down to breakfast sooner.

Roy

Liked: Cleanliness
We reserved a room with a roll-in shower because that is what my wife needs due to her limited mobility, we were told that one was available when I booked the room. Upon our arrival we were told that the room was not available because the individual staying there the previous night had extended their stay. That to me is unacceptable, while I can empathize with their situation it did not alter the fact that I requested and paid for a specific type of room. It is frustrating when you make a choice to stay somewhere based on what they say they have available to you and then you find out that they do not.

A Convenient and Restful Stay
This Holiday Inn Express off of Exit 3, is our "go to" when traveling I-40 Atlanta to Albuquerque. The beds are PERFECT for us to get a good night sleep along the journey. The continental breakfast was perfect for starting our day. Usually, there's a warm breakfast included but on Christmas Day, the fare was different. The staff was cheerful and welcoming. (For travelers relying on WAZE... Do NOT get off at exit 7!!!)
