I’m highly satisfied and happy staying 4 nights in this beautiful property. Newly renovated room with nice design fixtures, floor carpeting, lights and colorful blinds. Experiences welcoming gestures, accommodating and friendly services from Corey at the front desk, Cecile in the breakfast area and Carl the maintenance specialist. Impressed by their team services leading by Kathy. Especially love this stay!

I wish I could add video. This hotel is disgusting. Turned me against all IHG in future. I’ll spend the extra money for the Hilton. We never even made it into the room hallway was so gross it made my skin crawl. Thinking I would have slept in my car first. Very Sketchy! I took the loss and went elsewhere.

This hotel has potential. The biggest red flag for my review was the renovation work that was happening at the place. There were shipping containers and dumpsters that consumed 50% or the parking so the nights we stayed people were parking on the sides of the entrance cause there were no spots. The back door was propped open and even when the prop was removed the door would not securely latch. The luggage haulers were non-existent. Because of the main entrance construction, all traffic was routed out the back and that required lifting our bags up and down the stairs even to get to the level where the elevators were. The hallway carpeting was gross. I hope it was on the schedule to get replaced as well. The rooms were spacious nice and clean however all but two outlets in the room were totally worn out and would not hold a plug. We went to move one of the coffee tables and the whole top was unglued. One of the chair cushions was a different color so I pulled it up to find it was an old leather one that was falling apart with a cover on it. Kind of gross! Breakfast and staff were very nice. We did ask for more towels and were turned down at the desk due to a shortage. We were able to get some from the house keeping staff though. Not sure what the deal was there. Pool was green and had hair in it my kids were saying. There was no one patrolling the hallways at night and two of our three night stays there were people partying till 12-1am. In summary, I have stayed in worse places. After the renovations are done, this place will have some potential. They still need to clean up some of the details even outside of the renovations. I would be hesitant to stay there again.

The building was under renovation. Had to use a back door to enter. No security as the door was left ajar. Outer walls had large cracks, Jack hammering being done when we arrived. Hallway carpeting was disgustingly stained on the two hallways we saw. Our room was clean but both the carpet and bedding were damp and clammy. The worst night sleep I ever had at a hotel. We should have been notified regarding the reconstruction. We would not have stayed there had we known.

We've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Newington many times. We've never had a problem. The staff has always been great--both attentive and professional. The location, pool, breakfast, queen beds and overall maintenance--you get a lot for your dollar. A comfortable and satisfying experience.

This hotel is so bad that I can't believe a major brand like Holiday Inn Express puts their name on it. Why? 1. Filthy with stained, dirty carpets throughout, absolutely disgusting (see the photo). 2. Everything is old and worn out, the TV barely worked and had a 2008 manufacture date on it. 3. The key card system is so old that I had to get new cards every time I entered the room. 4. The shower operated like I imagine one in a bombed out war zone would work. 5. The couch in my room was so grungy that I wouldn't even put my luggage on it, much less sit on it. 6. The heating system barely worked and I was cold throughout the night. Holiday Inn, get your act together, this hotel is so bad that I'd give it negative stars if I could. Just horrible.

I had stayed here in August 2022 and everything was great .The staff was friendly and I had a room on 2nd floor which was very nice. I have since since stayed in October and December of 2022. Each time on the 1st floor. These rooms are beat, we struggled just to find outlets to charge our devices. The outlets existed but when ever we tried to plug something in out plugs would just fall out. Staff was unwelcoming and downright surly at times. Each of those visits (except August) we had to ask for towels we were told they were in the wash or they just plain didn't have any. We were able to get pool towels which were a lot like sand paper. What kind of hotel doesn't have towels? The hotel did not seem full from looking at the parking lot. I was told initially that I had to request housekeeping. Then when I requested it I was told they would come as long as I didn't have a sign on the door. When housekeeping did come they seemed to do a good job.(except for the towel issue) however, it was not with any regularity. I will say that the breakfast was decent . We go to CT frequently to see family, but I am not giving this hotel another chance.

We often stay at Holiday Inn Express locations when traveling… this one was not as clean as expected… no face cloths in the bathroom… tissue dispenser was empty. The breakfast was as expected. There are restaurants and other businesses in the immediate area.

Eugene, Oregon70 contributions22 helpful votes
We started staying in this hotel several years ago since it is close to our son and his family. At that time it was probably under a year old. It was a clean, nice hotel, with great friendly and helpful staff. Since then, we have stayed here at least 2 other times prior to this year and we have seen the quality of rooms and service gradually decline. This year, we booked a 4 night stay. As usual, we requested a top floor room so there would be no noise above us. The first evening after getting unpacked, we heard a loud squeaking from the HVAC unit fan, that would have kept us awake all night, so we called the desk and they sent someone up to try to fix it. When we got back from dinner we discovered that evidently they couldn't fix it so we demanded to be moved to another room. Unfortunately, the only other room was on the first floor, so we took it. The room that they moved us to had debris and stains on the carpet and had obviously not been cleaned. After repacking and moving, we encountered young girls running up and down the hall, yelling etc. (evidently a girls soccer team, we found out later). Thinking that they would calm down later since they probably had supervising adults in the group, we settled down in our room. WRONG! Evidently they were on the 2nd floor as all evening and into the night, they were yelling, jumping on and off the beds right above our room. We complained to the desk clerk and he said he couldn't do anything about it as they wouldn't pay any attention to him, I suggested that he call the manager at her home and get her down there to deal with it. He refused. We tried to go to bed, but about that time we heard a loud fight going on in the room next to us. It sounded like a man and wife fighting and screaming at each other and evidently he hit her. Before long, police showed up and we heard them out in the hall dealing with the couple. I don't know what time we finally got to sleep, but when we got up the next morning, I booked a room at another hotel for the remainder of our trip. I told the desk clerk that we were leaving and the reasons why. About that time, we heard another dispute in the lobby between an employee and her supervisor, screaming at each other over a work assignment in full view of any guests in the lobby. We left and we will NEVER stay at this hotel again!! The only good thing I can say is that the breakfast was pretty good. It's sad to see a once decent hotel go so downhill.

Check in is supposed to be at 3pm. Currently it is 5pm and still waiting for our room. No manager on duty, no compensation for the wait and have been told it will be at least another hour before we will get a room which means we will miss the dinner we came into town for. Unbelievable!
