Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lonoke I-40 (Exit 175)

The lady who checked me in was very nice and helpful. The hotel was in the process of renovation. The room was clean and comfortable but it was very noisy and I was unable to sleep. I kept hearing doors open and close. I was in a room located above the entrance and the noise level was disturbing. However, the breakfast was very good.

Long-term IHG PKATINUM MEMBERS, we should have known something was off when we drove up the entrance to check in and the sidewalk was blocked by drywall, construction supplies, and drywall installation equipment. It only got worse from there. The two nice ladies at the front desk could not get their credit card reader to work. We knew our IHG loyalty credit card worked as we had just used it for gas. After multiple tries, one of the ladies had us fill out and sign a paper so she could manually enter our credit card into their system. Question: if your credit card reader hasn't been working for a while, why don't you replace it? Next, because construction was in-progress inside the hotel, there was construction dust, supplies, bathroom fixtures, and construction carts on both the 1st and 2nd floors. Construction equipment blocking egress up and down the halls is extremely problematic, especially in the event of a fire. Unsafe lodging as a result. Qyestion: Why not use one of your rooms to stage needed construction equipment vs. putting your employees, guests, and even the construction workers at risk by allowing your hallways to be fully or partially blocked? Again, unsafe. The Fire Marshall would cite you for the lack of safety for all concerned. Noise: check-in is 3pm. We arrived somewhere around 3:30. And was thankful that the very loud shouting, drilling (with a battery operated hand drill), running, and loud talking ended at 5:26 pm when the construction workers left the 2nd floor. Question: we totally get that you are doing construction. But the yelling, congregating outside guest rooms, and speaking in high volumes by the construction crew should not be acceptable. Question: Why do you allow this when you know you have placed guests on the same floor that construction is taking place? Lastly, because we have been on the road for two weeks (all in IHG properties), my husband was exhausted. After your construction workers left for the day, my husband put his earplugs in and attempted to sleep. ONLY to be awakened by someone claiming to be "housekeeping " knocking at our door. I called down to the front desk to inquire if housekeeping truly needed anything from us or from our room. The lady at the desk said "housekeeping has already left for the day but I will check and call you back." We received a prompt call and was told by the front desk they "smelled smoke from our room." I invited them to come up to the room, which one of the ladies from the front desk did. My husband dressed from his sleep to greet and let her in the room. As soon as she walked in she said, "I don't smell anything. I'm so sorry to disturb you." My husband reminded her of what I had shared over the phone, I e., that I had reheated some leftover vegetables in the microwave. As we don't smoke and could not smell smoke in our room or in the entirety, of the 2nd floor, we were very confused by this unnecessary interruption. Question: why was this interr

The frozen microwaved taco looking things they call egg omelets with a slice of American cheese are still be served at this hotel. I stayed further up the road the next night and that Holiday Inn affiliate had scrambled eggs. The bed has seen better days and the three Showtime movie channels were running exclusively movies from the last century. Everything was clean the shower was decent enough, but some genius put a restrictor on the faucet in the bathroom sink. There were like 12 little streams that hardly produced any water. If you turned it up, they hit the sink and shot up all over the place. If you turned it down, there wasn't enough water to catch in your hand to even brush your teeth. Everything was clean and orderly and there were 4 carts for bringing up luggage. Points were outrageously high but that seems to be the standard practice for this chain since covid.

It looked to be a little dated and needed some paint. Beds were comfortable, breakfast was good, with good selection of items. Room was humid and the floors felt wet. It must be a popular facility because it was really busy. Fairly easy access to and from I-40.

This is an older HIX but very nice and very clean. I actually liked it better than the newly remodeled one we stayed in the night before. The only downside was that the lighting could have been brighter for me. Breakfast was very good.

We very much enjoyed our two night stay at HI Express in Lonoke. Check in and Check Out was so easy-a very friendly and helpful staff. The room was updated well, very clean with comfortable beds. Our two cats were with us and we appreciated their pet policy. Breakfast items were very plentiful and delicious. We will most definitely stay here on our travels again.

Stayed here over 2 wks since being hit by tornado. This is the best holiday inn express I’ve ever stayed in. Super clean and hard working staff. Everyone is so friendly! Breakfast is delicious and kids love indoor pool. Built in 2005 renovated 2017. You will enjoy your stay!

This was not a very good stay with the Holiday Inn Express group. This was just an overnight stay. The best I could give this location was 2 stars. FIRST STAR... I gave 1 star because of the convenient location to the interstate. It was easy to get on and off the interstate at this location. SECOND STAR... I gave a 2nd star because of the room. The room was clean and everything worked well. The room was well stocked(plenty of towels and pillows) and quiet. All the problems began the in the morning. Now for the PROBLEMS.... NEGATIVE #1... At 5:00AM the hotel fire alarm went off for about 5 seconds. I looked out in the hallway and no one was leaving their rooms. I know it was dumb, but that included me. Well it was 5:00 AM and I was wide awake so I decided to go ahead and get up and get ready to leave. I went down to breakfast about 7:30AM and noticed that there were about 10 people already there. All anyone could talk about was the 5:00Am fire alarm. I went to the front desk and asked about it. The front desk clerk informed me that the hotel has a room on the 3rd floor that causes the fire alarm to go off when someone takes a HOT shower. Seems like to me that perhaps they should get this taken care of or at least not rent that room. NEGATIVE #2...I returned to the breakfast area to find little food. There were NO Eggs available. There were NO Bacon available. There was NO Orange Juice. The serving trays were there but everything was emptied. There were NO Otis Spunkmeyer muffins. There were a few Holiday Inn Cinnamon Rolls available but they looked like they were left over from yesterday. If you wanted a clean table to eat, you had to clean it yourself. Very disappointing experience. This was no where close to Holiday Inn Express standards. NEGATIVE #3...There are very limited places to eat at night. The fast food places in the area were dirty. There is a Walmart about a half mile down the road that you could get something to bring back to the room to eat. This was probably the worst experience I have had staying at a Holiday Inn Express. I will not be staying at this location again. I will go ahead and drive into Little Rock on my next trip thru this area.

We had an excellent stay at this Holiday Inn. The room was super clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the employees were professional. The fitness room was also very clean, and the cardio machines were in good repair. Breakfast was great!
