Checked in Sunday evening and had to wait for desk clerk to come. She was pleasant and got us checked in quickly. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had all we needed. Breakfast was weak. The staff said due to the bad weather the trucks hadn't made their deliveries. Very little to choose from. Milk was sour and coffee was empty. I'd stay at hotel again but be weary of the breakfast. Definitely not up to the Holiday Inn Express standards.

Internet sucks.

The room is clean and lobby smells good. They really blast their heater in the hallway which could be a good and bad thing for some people. If you stay here to do some work in your computer and need some internet connection, good luck with that. It will keep you get disconnected.

A Perfect Location For a Long Journey

This particular Holiday Inn Express is our choice for our travel between Georgia and New Mexico. It's the midpoint of our journey and it's the perfect rest stop. The staff is welcoming, the accommodations are clean and comfortable and meet our needs. Thank you, Holiday Inn Express Van Buren near I-40!

Front desk staff didn't disclose vital information. They didn't charge the rooms correctly and didn't inform me of a $75 holding charge per room. These errors caused my CC company to put a hold on my account. After two phone calls and 10 days, I got all the issues resolved. I suggest booking thru a third-party. Otherwise, the hotel is nice and convient to I40.
