    Everything was great! Welcoming front desk clerk, clean…read moreroom, good breakfast and the gym was well equipped.

    The room was clean and fresh when we checked in, but . . …read more We've stayed here twice before, but this will be the last time. The biggest problem was apparent dishonesty by the young man in the office. When asked about the breakfast advertised, he assured us there would be biscuits and gravy, pastries, cold cereal, and juices. In the morning - all they had was bad coffee. Nothing else. The young man in the office said they had a problem with a delivery. There were appliances there like a big multi-cereal dispenser, but no present breakfast. The second bit of low credibility was when we were looking for the ice machine and he indicated there had been an electrical problem the previous night and the machine was not currently working --but considering Sara C's review pic from Feb 2025 -"Out of Order. Across the Street Ice Machine Working" -I wonder if this is a continuous problem rather than a glitch from the night before. There were a few other problems: * The deadbolt was inoperable. The door seemed warped out of alignment and no amount of pushing or wrestling the door up or down allowed the dead bolt to engage. (We were tired, it was late, and we didn't feel like demanding a new room so we piled luggage next to the door as an alarm.) * The swimming pool was partially filled with brownish-green stagnant water. I remember the pool being out of service on a previous stay here, but don't remember if it was in this sad shape both of our previous visits. * One of the lights by the bed was burned out or otherwise nonfunctioning. The "Hotel" is situated conveniently on the highway we were traveling on, but we will look elsewhere if and when we are driving through Vernon again.

    My room was pretty great - it was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I wasted some time trying to…read morecast from my phone to the TV, which seemed to have the capability, but alas, I'm just an electrical engineer and couldn't make it work. Oh well - I don't hold it against the hotel at all. The reason I'm not maxing out the 5-star scale is the lackluster breakfast. Overcooked scrambled eggs and biscuits, watery gravy, completely out of bacon - yes, these are first-world problems, but I've stayed at dozens of Holiday Inn Expresses that didn't have these issues. Breakfast aside, it was a good stay, and I would stay here again.

    So far, this is a million times better than where we stayed in Fort Worth. And I was able to get a…read morecheaper room thanks to the government rate. Penny, the front desk clerk when we checked in, is absolutely amazing. I even sent up a compliment to corporate so if the general manager reads this , please acknowledge you have a fantastic employee and she needs to be appreciated. She's like your grandma!!! And she kept mentioning the hot breakfast and we are looking forward to it even though it's just going to be the standard fare but Penny made it sound like the best breakfast in the state. The rooms were spacious, bright, and clean. We love the way soap is provided even though it doesn't smell the best but certainly cuts back on single use plastic. The room smelled fresh and updated. My only question is why the pot and oven mitt in a room that doesn't have a stove. Finally, the pool was open. We were promised a pool o Fort Worth but it was broken. The pool room was really warm. The hot tub was a little too hot but the pool was a good temperature. And all chairs were lounge chairs. They even provided wipes to clean before and after use. I can't ask for more. If I were to ever pass through again and need a room, I would go out of my way to stay here. Keep up the good work!!
