Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by REVoigt Disregard the "Not Bad, but Probably Won't Stay Here Again" review
I am sorry, but it wasn't until I hit submit that I realized I was reviewing the Holiday Inn Express that I stayed at last week in North Carolina instead of the one I stayed at this past Tuesday night.
I had no issues with the Holiday Inn Express in Huntersville and would stay there again.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by REVoigt Not Bad, but Probably Won't Stay Here Again...
Overall this is what I consider to be a typical Holiday Inn Express in terms of quality of rooms and amenities. They are fairly consistent across the country and if you like them you will like this one. I will share a few specifics that made my experience less than satisfactory.
1 - I was on the 3rd floor and the wireless internet connected at 11Mbps with low quality. I would expect better and it made doing work slower than it should be. It was late at night when I arrived, so I did not complain about it as I was tired anyway.
2 - The breakfast area is set up with 2 long tables and no 4 person or 2 person tables. When I arrived for breakfast around 8am, both tables had groups of people that were obviously there for some sort of meeting, and I had to sit at the end of one of the tables where I felt like I was being intrusive. I do not think breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express should be set up as family style dining...
3 - I am very confident I left a charger for my bluetooth headset device in my room as I put the headset on for a conference call prior to leaving the room and was on that call for the next hour until I reached my destination. When I went to put the device back in its case, it was not where I normally keep it. I called the hotel and the person that answered did not do or offer to do anything extra to help me. She basically said I would just have to wait to see if Housekeeping found it and turned it in. I searched all my bags and the rental car I had, and the charger was not found. I am confident it was left in the hotel room; but I did not ever get a call from the hotel. I did call back again and spoke to a different person who was at least sympathetic and made me believe she would go look; but I did not get a call.

Front desk staff at check in was a rude trying to be funny. I did not appreciate. Just wanted the key.
Bedding appear to have been slept in previously. Worst experience I have had at a HI in years.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by NukeWorker Good but........
My overall stay at your hotel was good but I have one major complaint. I worked night shift for the power plant in the area. The last time I stayed at this hotel, they had a cleaning crew come in later in the evening (after 6pm) to service the rooms of the people working night shift. This time they said they had an early crew that would clean the room from 8-9am. This doesn't work to well when you get off of work a 6am and would have to stay up for 2-3 hrs for them to clean the room. I don't know why this changed from the previous year. I never had my room cleaned once in almost 3 weeks. When I would ask for more towels the guys that was working the front desk always looked annoyed and kept telling me that I should just have the maids bring towels when they cleaned my room. I couldn't get him to understand that the hotel didn't have anybody serevicing rooms that worked for me. It was annoying enough that I more than likely will not stay at this hotel again.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Canadians2013 Front Desk Employee - Brian
We wanted to let this hotel know that Brian (I am 98%sure this is his name), was the most pleasant person we have ever met at a hotel. As we travbelled thru USA there was one chain the beach of Mrytle Beach I told them they should send their employees to see Brian to learn some hospitality. Thanks Brian for setting up my laptop for me!!!!!
Hope to met again!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Sylvia47 Great room.
This was the nicest room we've had at a Holiday Inn Express yet. If I was on a business trip I could easily spend a week here. And it was less expensive than some. The people at the desk were very pleasant.. The only problem was that they didn't answer the phone, not when we called from the road or from our room. But, other than that, great experience all around.

The property was great, breakfast worked well, and room was nice and clean. The greatest thing though was the low noise level. We, being in our mid 60's, loved it.

I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to relax. The rooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. There is a variety of choices to suit everyone for breakfast and the hot foods are hot. The customer service representatives are friendly and knowledgeable about the area and what's going on.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Mike1946 What a mess!
By far this was the dirtiest Holiday Inn Express I have ever stayed at. Over 100 nights a year is my norm. Garbage in the hallway on Sunday night and it was there when I checked out on Wed morning! I brought it to the attention of the desk and he blew me off "we will look into that". The lobby bathroom were unusable due to no paper, toilets stuffed and plugged. This is a HIE I will avoid at any cost!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by PlatinumPartner Extended Stay Here Was Good
Stayed here for 2-1/2 weeks in February while working at the Duke Energy - McGuire nuclear plant. The suite on the 5th floor was clean, spacious and quiet. The manager's reception food on Tuesday & Wednesday was tasty and very convenient on nights when I stayed in got ready for another long day at work. Un fortunately, I was never able to enjoy the full breakfast fare since our work day started too early, (and we were working 7 days a week). But, they did have enough breakfast stuff laid out so I could start the day with coffee, juice, cereal, a hot cinnamon roll, etc. My only wish was for in-house laundry facilities, but using the nearby laundromat worked out fine.

I checked in 2-18 at the end of a long day of driving and was hungry and tired. The person on the front desk was very friendly, made checking easy, recommended a good place to eat and was very attentive.. She made me feel like home although it was the first time I had stayed at your hotel. I can nassure you that I will return.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Buckeye17 Nice room & Soft & Clean Towels
Was Visiting Davidson College & found this hotel in between CLT and the college (beautiful), right off I-77.
This hotel had a Manager's Happy Hour on Tues. Food was so-so, but it saved me from having to go out to dinner.
The fitness room was good, but it didn't have any towels left. I saw the outdoor pool but didn't try it.
My room was spacious and it had a fridge and a microwave. The flat screen TV could rotate so you could watch it while sitting at the table of if you were on the bed.
The bathroom was nice, except for the shower head. I don't know if they have water restrictions in the Charlotte area, but the shower pressure was weak.
At least they had very nice, soft towels, and they smelled clean...not bleached out.. Ditto with the bed sheets and pillow covers.
I was surprised at their breakfast offering in the morning. The scrambled eggs were actually fairly decent and I never have seen a machine that makes pancakes after pushing a button and delivers them on a conveyor belt.
Check out was easy.
I would definitely recommend the hotel for the price and proximity to the interstate.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by TravelsWithDog Convenient location
Stayed here twice in one week (had to leave for one overnight elsewhere in the middle of the stay). Very typical Holiday Inn Express experience, which is overall a positive. Wish the pool had been indoors, since it was very cold while we were there. We stayed both times in a King suite with a couch and little kitchenette area, and didn't like how the bed was positioned to look right at the toilet in the bathroom - sort of an awkward and uncomfortable layout. Otherwise, though, it was a comfortable stay, and we were treated very well by the friendly staff.

I am a regular guest at this hotel because of the great staff. They are friendly, accommodating and always go out of their way to make sure I have everything I need. The hotel is spotless and the breakfast is always well-prepared. I book early so I always have a room....this one fills up fast during the business week!

I hadn't planned to stay at this HI, but I was glad that I did. The staff was friendly, helpful, and courteous. The place was immaculate. Lots of good places to eat around, too. It's a little awkward finding the place when you get off of I-77, but there is ample parking and it is a quiet area. Highly recommended.

I really liked the kitchenette/desk/sitting area of the room being distinct from the sleeping area. The room was clean, and I appreciated the "back-up" blankets being available (although I didn't need them). The gentleman at the front desk immediately provided a box of kleenex when I mentioned that the one in my room was empty. Love the cinnamon rolls, too! Thanks for a great stay.

We have stayed at this location for several years while driving back and forth to FL. It has easy access to the highway and lots of food choices in the immediate area. It is also located next to a retail area if anything is needed. The best reason for staying at this location is that is very well maintained, has a great staff and provides comfortable and quiet rooms.
