This place was perfect for overnight. The location was great with a lot of restaurants around. The room is clean, and the pillows and bed are so comfortable. The shower had great pressure. They also had dove products in the bathroom. Desk service was 5 .

My brother and I visited Henderson this week for a family event and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Henderson. I was very satisfied with my room and the facility. In particular, I want to commend the very friendly and helpful staff at this hotel. We dealt with several different hotel employees and they were all so polite and nice. They accommodated every request. I wish I would have gotten their names to recognize them personally. I want to give a shout out to front desk clerk Dianne, who saw us off very early in the morning. She was very polite and made sure I had a hot cup of coffee before hitting the road. Very nice hotel and value. The only downside is they are off a very busy highway and it is difficult if you want to make a left turn out of their parking lot. I wish there was a traffic light there. I will stay there again.

Incredible stay. Room was clean right down to the cleanliness of the whirlpool tub! Had no fear of soaking in this gem... the staff was incredible. Accommodated last minute need for another night without any hesitation! Gave us incredible recommendations for resturaunts near by as we weren't familiar with the area. The pool was cute and peaceful...will swim for sure next stay. I am really impressed with this small town quaint hotel. Family atmosphere and quiet. Will be back for sure!!!! Update- we have stayed numerous times...our home away from home! I am absolutely in love with this hotel and the incredible "family" that runs it!

A bit pricy for the area it’s setting in but was Very clean. Great service. Great breakfast. Only downfall, it sets about 40yds off of 41. If you’re a light sleeper I suggest some earplugs. Otherwise happy with our stay.

I had some reservations/concerns reserving a room here, due to several/many reviews I read online, so I wasn't 100% sure what to expect upon arrival. The check in went very well as the 2 ladies there were very nice and helpful. The room & bathroom were both nicely updated and exceeded our expectations. My wife loved that the bathroom was actually a separate room from the sleeping area and also that it has a tub. The breakfast was the best I have had at a hotel in a long time, everything I tried was great and the lady in charge of breakfast was excellent ! I visit Henderson several times a year and can not eat the breakfast at the other hotels we have stayed at. I continually try, but usually have to throw it away, disappointed. The hotel is located around many good food opportunities, but you must visit Hometown Roots in downtown Henderson. We have been there twice and my wife says they were the best meals that she has had at a restaurant in forever, which was nice since we tend to make a lot of bad restaurant choices. The price was higher than surrounding hotels, but we will still consider staying here each time we visit Henderson. THANK YOU Holiday Inn Express Henderson for a great stay, we truly appreciated it ! p.s. there was 1 small item that I won't post here but will discuss with those in charge if they want to contact me ?
