Holiday Inn Express Fredericksburg Southpoint by IHG

It started out clean and nice. No help from staff to offset sleepless night with cockroach in bed room

Indoor pool was closed, remodeling going on and only 1 elevator was in service.

I stepped into a dark bedroom to see a duct-tape wrapped wire hanging out of the wall where the lightswitch should be. Knowing this is a luxury room, I figured it MUST be like this to make guests go to sleep faster. What a great feature! I got dressed down and in bed quickly in the dark, though didn’t realize why I could still see well enough to do so until I noticed the seedy red light district directly across the street from my room was shining through the sheer curtains. Thinking Las Vegas level brightness wasn’t conducive for sleep, I got back up to close the heavy curtains that were pulled to the side, only to realize they weren’t made to close. No, they were on little half foot tracks, giving the illusion of functional, but completely useless. I attempted to sleep, but the 3rd time the same noisy staff vehicle slowly crept past my window with a driver looking in, I figured I should do something. I pressed my asscheeks to the window, gave the finger, and tied the heavy curtains together to block the window with my belt. I KINDA slept. Bed was comfy, but stunk. Got up extra early thinking if I can’t sleep, I’ll workout. Elevator was broken. Gym was closed for repairs. Pool was closed. I just checked out at 6am and waited on the comp breakfast, which I can say was delightful. 2/5 stars, better than sleeping outside. Breakfast was 5/5.

The room was clean, but needed a little maintenance. It appears there is some updating going on, so hopefully the few issues are being handled.

Property was not in the best of shape, but is in the middle of renovation. Or being in the middle of a renovation it was overall a good experience.

Wires sticking out of wall, broken shelves in closet, bugs, no toilet paper dispenser, stained up tub, gap in room entry door.

Nice

Ypon arrival I had to qait several minutes for the attendant to come instead and check us in. The outside ligting was minimal and the hitel smelled like cigarettes. There was only one 8ce machine which 2as licated on the first flior. We were on the 4thfloor. The check out person was friendly, quick and very plesant.

Air quality of room was a bit mucky, had a moldy smell.

It’s was close
