Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lucedale

The room: bed sitting area was clean. :) The bathroom needed work: The shower / bathtub needs scribing. The towels and wash clothes were dirty. :(

The past 3 years we have stayed here 5 times and this time was the worse ---- the heating/AC unit was very dirty (tracked down a cleaning person and asked them to reclean. We had to re-clean the room - Tub and lavatory do not hold water. The rooms just need a major overhaul - I understand as well that there is a help problem -- they are doing renovations but seems like just the outside not the inside. Sorry we have loved this place - but this last time was not good.

Wasn't good black mold in bathtub on caulk. Air-condition made noice when ran. Shower head falling off and rusty.

This has to be my worst experience ever with a hotel, from the moment I walked in it smelled like animal urine. When I got my room key for the 3rd floor, it smelled just as bad, I get into my room, and the smell was even worse. It was late when I checked in, so I showered and tried to sleep. The room smelled of mildew, the bed felt damped. I had to sleep with my shirt wrapped around my face, due to the strong smell . I called the office in the morning, and asked to be moved to a different room and was told I had to wait for a clean room. I decided to check out instead of staying for my second night that I booked.

all good!

Overall very nice but did have a musty odor to the place
