Holiday Inn Express & Suites Auburn

We have been to multiple Holiday Inns and have been satisfied with our stays in the past. We went on a staycation and came to the one in Auburn. We do staycations every now and then so our kids can go swimming. The pool area was so disgusting. If it wasn’t for the fact that the whole reason we got a hotel was for the swimming, I absolutely would have not let my kids anywhere near the pool. They’re 11 and 7 and had been looking forward to that so it would have been so disappointing for them to have missed out on the reason we were there. The floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. It certainly hadn’t been swept and it needed mopped something fierce. I didn’t feel comfortable walking in the pool area without my shoes on, I really wish we would have had water shoes. We had pool toys and I was extremely grossed out if any of them touched the ground. There were fake nails on the floor, globs of hair, spiders. Yuck. And the bottom of the pool was covered with what I would assume was dirt. It was so gross. My husband and I didn’t get in the first night, but the kids did. The second day, I got in with the kids because I wanted to make the best of the situation. But I was thoroughly grossed out. The second day the pool looked a little better and someone was in there sweeping when we were down there but it kind of seemed like they were trying to cover their tracks and it was still really nasty. We also found ants in our room and some other kind of bug on our towels. For the amount we spent on our one night stay, we were annoyed with what we paid for. Having been at Holiday Inns before, this makes us want to look at different hotel chains going forward.

Sunday morning the toilet didnt flush properly. Some of the wallpaper was torn or?. Floor in shower was slippery, should of had maybe some floor strips.

Great trip! Nice room, very comfy!!
