"Over Memorial Day weekend I had a 3 night stay at this location. The room was clean, it had both a microwave and fridge/freezer in the room which was very nice. Breakfast was served from 8 am to 10 am, which was very good. I requested that I not be disturbed and I was never bothered, which made my stay very enjoyable."
"The cooling tower was on the fritz, so the entire property was like 80°, but my room actually had functional AC, so I stayed comfortable!
The place is a little run down, but the price is right and it's very central to everything, especially all the Sanford locations.
I didn't use the outdoor pool, but it looked clean. Unfortunately the grass around it was knee high. It just looked as if they hadn't had a chance to catch up on general maintenance since winter, and I can't fault them for that.
They were giving out free ice cream in the lobby to help combat the heat, and I'm sure that was much appreciated by those who didn't have functional AC!"
"This was the most expensive hotel I stayed at during my 10-day road trip, yet unfortunately it was the worst experience of the three.
The biggest issue was the overwhelming chemical cleaner smell in the room. It was so strong that every item in my suitcase — even clean clothes I never wore — absorbed the odor, and I had to wash everything when I got home. I’ve never experienced anything like that in a hotel before.
I was also surprised that the HVAC system did not allow the fan to run continuously. I rely on white noise to sleep, and every hotel I’ve stayed in before has offered a constant fan option. The room becoming completely silent allowed me to hear every noise both in and outside of the hotel, which made for a rough night's sleep and 6AM flight departure.
In addition, the entrance area, elevator, and hallway floors needed swept.
Overall, this hotel felt extremely overpriced for the experience provided. The strong odor alone would keep me from staying here again."
"Great place to stay! Wonderful pool for the kids, great rooms, great staffing, the only wish the lounge was open on Sundays. Other than that it was a great stay."
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Bismarck by IHG
8/10 Good
"The staff and the property location are great. Unfortunately, it’s starting to show some age. Wallpaper peeling in the bathrooms. Mildew in the corners of the shower. And they could certainly get some better towels as these are miniature and thin. Towels I would expect at a low quality hotel not a Holiday Inn express. Other than that great stay."
"Mold on carpet paint peeling in room where water has been leaking around window trash all over hallway smelled like sewage as some who has traveled all over the world and country this is the worst place I have ever seen."
