Families with children should stay here

Everything was so straightforward, I was welcomed by friendly faces, felt like I was at home. The breakfast spread was impressive, real bacon, like comer from a diner, not some sad microwave stuff, and they had a pancake machine too.

It wasn't inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Holiday Inn Express in Palestine. The hotel impressed with its cleanliness and remarkably friendly staff. Breakfast selection exceeded expectations, though I found the absence of sugar-free options somewhat limiting. Overall, a delightful experience during my trip.

water pressure in shower was low

Staying here was fantastic! The spacious suites were perfect for our large family and the all-day coffee and hot chocolate were a hit. Plus, the shuttle to the Texas State Railroad made our Polar Express adventure so easy and enjoyable for everyone.

My children wanted a bigger play area outside.

We visited the Texas State Railroad and enjoyed a thrilling day at River Run ATV park. The rooms were clean and spacious, and we loved the all-day coffee and hot chocolate. Definitely made our trip enjoyable! I highly recommend staying here for a fun group adventure.

The only downside was the minor wait time at breakfast during peak hours, but it was manageable.

The pool was a great feature for the kids, but sadly it was closed during our stay. The cleanliness could use some attention, especially in the bathrooms. We really appreciated the ATM on-site when we needed cash, and the vending machine offered a decent variety of snacks. I enjoyed the large dirt lot next door for parking as it made things hassle-free. I was excited for a refreshing swim to lift our spirits, but that didn't happen. Too bad about the experience!

Clean room with good Wi-Fi. breakfast lacks options for diabetics. Friendly staff helped quickly.

Can recommend for a quick trip

Clean room, friendly staff, with free Wi-Fi and a delicious breakfast featuring an automatic pancake maker that made mornings enjoyable, while also being conveniently located near a 30-mile train ride.

Not one thing.

We had such a fun time at this place! The outdoor pool was refreshing, and the fire pit area was perfect for relaxing with friends. The bathroom could use a little updating, but overall, it was a good experience and I’d definitely recommend it to others! 😊

I recently stayed at Holiday Inn Express during a work trip and was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. The beds were cozy, allowing for a restful night's sleep, and the shower was excellent with strong water pressure. What stood out the most was the complimentary breakfast, which offered a delicious variety of options, including freshly made pancakes and a selection of pastries. The staff was attentive, helping create a welcoming atmosphere during my visit.

No significant negatives to report.

The festive decorations for the holidays create a joyful atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for a winter getaway. A 24-hour coffee station with excellent brews is a game-changer for anyone hitting the road early or working late.

The Wi-Fi connection had its moments of unreliability, making it challenging to get work done or stream videos smoothly. While the room was generally quiet, the absence of USB charging ports struck me as a missed opportunity in this tech-driven world. Plus, I noticed the decor could use a little updating to keep it fresh and appealing.

Cleanliness stood out during my stay. The room felt fresh, with no dust or stains. I appreciated the plentiful breakfast options, especially the delicious pancakes and assorted pastries. Morning coffee was always available, which was a nice touch. On the downside, the shower had low water pressure, making it hard to rinse off properly. The internet was also spotty, which hindered my ability to get work done. I requested a high floor but didn't get it, even with availability. The staff was friendly, but more attention to the issues could greatly improve the experience. Parking was convenient, located right next to the hotel. Overall, a pleasant visit despite some hiccups that could use addressing.
