Holiday Inn Express Boone

It’s a really nice place if you just want to crash. I think it’s clean enough and it has more than enough amenities to satisfy most travelers. It’s close proximity to NUMEROUS restaurants and storefronts make it a great place. My big beef and the reason I dropped two stars was that the wifi sucked balls!!! If you have to get work done or you want to enjoy some entertainment, you cannot endure the stops and starts of BRUTALLY poor wifi! This is perhaps the worst I have ever encountered. Looking at past reviews, I see this has never improved. INVEST!!! It is totally worth it to your business customers. I pick Holiday Inn Expresses because I know that I’m going to get a consistent experience and I know that I am going to get dependable service and amenities every time I pick these hotels. This falls way short of the mark! Fix it! I bypass Courtyards, Fairfields and Hamptons and have gone many miles out of the way to get to an IHG brand simply because I expect that I will get everything I need there. Please fix this!

I stayed here for about 1 week. Room was great. Nice shower. Breakfast was so-​so. I was hoping nicer washing machine. It seemed to be very old and didn’t work that well. I loved the anytime fitness access card you could get at the desk. More hotels really should do this! It is so much better than a small cramped crowded hotel gym. Front desk staff was good. Close to everything. Would only not recommend if you need luxurious accommodations, although it’s pretty nice.
The Wifi was terrible at night though. Keeps cutting out.

Sorry — wanted to like this Holiday Inn Express but W. Jefferson was fully booked and we had no choice. The shower drain didn’t work, and they were «too busy» to pull up a copy of my receipt when I didn’t get one under the door; Front Desk personnel seem unhappy.
I should have gone to Hampton Inn

We were in town for a wedding and came a day early to sight see. When looking for a hotel, I chose this one because for an extra $ 10 a night, we could get a balcony room. In my mind, that equated to being able to sit outside and enjoy mountain views. How wrong I was! Number one there was no chairs on the balcony. Just an empty balcony and number two we were looking at a large transformer and a busy road that led to an apartment building. I was also very surprised that the furniture looked like it came from a second hand store. And heaven help you if you are a light sleeper. The smoke detector had a flashing blue light that went off every 15 seconds (not exaggerating). The only plus I can give is that the bed was actually comfortable. Didn’t eat breakfast as it was standard carb loading fare. Coffee was good. Will look for a different place the next time since I now have a general knowledge of the area.

Overall this hotel is a good value for the money. The rooms are modern and fairly clean although I don’t think the bathrooms get quite the cleaning they should from day to day. The hotel does not have a gym but does offer membership passes to a fitness center 1.7 miles away. There is a pool but it is not heated as advertised and is quite small. The breakfast is included in the price and is pretty standard for this type of hotel. The lobby is clean and large, which is good because if you expect to be able to use the Internet you will need to hang out in the lobby and adjacent dining room. It may be the area, but several nights I could not access the Internet and spent quite a bit of time one evening online with the IT support center; they were helpful. I probably would choose another hotel next time, but overall this is a good value. The hotel staff would also do well to remember that their conversations are easily overheard by those using the Internet in the lobby.

Disappointed so far, took 2^nd floor room –door was ajar. Hairs on pillows, seemed like bed had been used, sheets didn’t look fresh. Front desk said they must’ve forgotten to «de-​hair» the sheets. Seriously, I live half my life in hotels, that was a first. I guess they forgot to «de-​hair» the bathroom, too, because that’s where I got the hair to show the front desk. Moved us to higher floor with balcony. These beds seemed fresh, and we pulled some more laundered hairs off pillows.
This used to be such a crisp establishment, linens are starting to look tired.
It gets a 3 because I’m grossed out.

I’m giving this a 5 star even though we were there less than 24 hours. This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. We needed a place to stay, as it was getting late, and happened to run across this one. The check-​in was simple and we had a room just right inside the front door. The room was plenty big, with a very nice bathroom, and very comfy pillows. Everything looked very clean throughout the hotel. The breakfast the next morning was great (pastries, juice, coffee, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, milk, yogurt, gravy, fruit, etc…). The staff we encountered were very friendly and talkative. I’d certainly always recommend this hotel for anyone in the area. I wasn’t in the area too long, but I could tell it was in a convenient location with a Walmart and other places nearby.

I appreciate it when I randomly Unilocal-​search a chain hotel like a Holiday Inn Express and there are opinions, so I’ll add my two cents here!
I am a picky, picky hotel girl. My fiancé was a little worried to bring me here (before heading elsewhere to a wedding), but I was pleasantly surprised.
I’ll start by saying that everything was clean. I’m a sheet and pillow inspector, and these met my qualifications. So did the shower. This is my number one priority and a huge deal. As a nice bonus surprise factor, the beds were really comfy.
Breakfast was pretty standard for a Holiday Inn: bagels, muffins, cereal, selection of hot foods (eggs, toast, etc). I mean, it’s not amazing, but it’s nice that it’s there. I bugged the kitchen for a few things outside of breakfast hours and they were happy to oblige.
Despite being off a main road, our room was quiet. There are tons of shops and restaurants nearby.
Didn’t use the pool, but it’s there! (It’s small.)
Hey, it’s not the Four Seasons, but everyone here was really, really, friendly and it was clean. That goes a long way. What more can you ask for, for the price?

A friend and I stayed here for a couple of nights. The roads going in an out of Boone the weekend of ²⁄₃ were so bad that we ended up hanging around the hotel area. Very convienient to restaurants and the «downtown» area. Very friendly staff and front desk clerks. No treadmill or pool. Thick walls between rooms help dampen sounds from other guests. Free Wi-​Fi Highly Recommended !!

very nice hotel, rate of 81 dollars. They were kind enough to upgrade to a huge suite. The rates in Boone fluctuate greatly depending on the volume of people in town. I’d stay again… very clean and neat

We had a great experience during our stay here. Staff was extremely friendly, the room was spotless, and the whole building had a clean feel. For $ 80, you can’t beat it. I did notice that the maximum rate for the room is $ 209, but I’m assuming that’s during peak travel season. Breakfast wasn’t too bad either.

My parents got two nights here and I stayed with them over the weekend. After I looked at the bill I was pretty surprised, I mean, it’s Holiday Inn?! And apparently during the Highland Games it’s even worse. The place was very clean, the staff was super friendly and I spoke with the cleaning crew right before they cleaned my room. They were super excited to hear about my wedding, congratulated us and even left us a note in our room. I appreciate those kinds of details. If I’m going to pay those kinds of prices I’d hope for more in a room. The basic rooms don’t even have a fridge. Super 8’s even have a mini fridge! Nice, but not a little too pricey.
