Hotel berhampiran Hilton Christian Church, Newport News

The hotel appeared to be very nice according to reviews and pictures online. I saw that it had been renovated but upon arrival, family members told me that it was once the “happening spot” for many celebrities and others that came in town before Holiday Inn took ownership. The decor was nice and clean upon entering the lobby and the front desk and staff were great! The hallway to our room on the main floor had a bad stintch/smell and the doors to the rooms showed the age of the hotel. When we entered the room the floor was very sticky and had to be cleaned which was cared for right away. There appeared to be tons of construction crew staying there as well and many of their big vehicles took up lots of the parking. Other than that it was good but if they can address the age of the doors and fix the smell it would be great! Again the staff was amazing and the Burger Theory staff was great too!

Although I only stayed for a night, this was one of the best stays I've had at a Holiday Inn Express! Michelle at the Front Desk was super helpful and polite, and seemed to genuinely care about guest experience and customer service. Hotel is very clean, room had a great layout, not the same boring hotel room. Clean, convenient, and comfortable. The gym was more than adequate for a quick ”travel” workout before heading off to a day of meetings. I really enjoyed staying here and will certainly be back.

酒店位置優越，周圍風景秀麗。停車方便。房型理想，並且非常乾淨。廚房設施齊全，餐具應有盡有。酒店早餐很好，無線網絡暢通。如果室內空調聲音再小一點兒就完美了。

I would stay here again though this stay wasn't the greatest. I would not expect the same issues next time, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The hotel was under renovation so we had to enter through the back door. Made loading luggage in a little tricky, but a staff member happened to be by the door and offered to assist. At 3:30 a.m. the fire alarm went off. A staff member said it was not an emergency, that someone was smoking in their room. Thought that was strange as the guests two doors down from me said their detector had been flashing intermittently throughout the night. Ours never flashed at all, not even when the alarm outside our room was going off. The fire department came to my (adult) son's room to check that detector saying it was his that set it off. My son doesn't smoke, which apparently was easy enough for them to figure out with no smell of smoke or evidence of smoking in the room. An hour or so later the clock alarm went off. We hadn't set it. I turned it off but some time later it went off again. I unplug it from the wall. It went off again. I finally buried it under a bunch of pillows. It finally stopped. The next morning I overheard a maintenance person telling a staff member something along the lines of minimal things they could do as the fire alarm system was old and perhaps, given a big storm rolled through during the night, some water had gotten to the wires and set it off. So we didn't get a good night's sleep, but the staff were pleasant and the room was clean. In particular, the lady manning the breakfast and coffee station, Helen, was a doll. She asked everyone how their evening was, helped anyone who needed it, immediately cleaned off tables when people left, always wore a smile, and was just ever so delightful. My mother said the grits were the best she'd had in a long while. She told Helen it was obvious she knows how to cook grits. Helen smiled, thanked her and said she's been making grits for a long time. Thanks Helen, for being you! Five stars for Helen!

Great location, convenient to restaurants, gas stations and general shopping. Pool was very good. Breakfast buffet was busy but had plenty of food. Bathrooms could use some updating but otherwise they were good. Highly recommend this place, especially if you have a family.
