Holiday Inn Express & Suites Youngstown (N. Lima/Boardman) by IHG

Wow! We've been staying at Holiday Inn Express locations throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware for many years. On March 2, 2026, we checked in with our reservations to the Holiday Inn Express at 10111 Market St, North Lima, Ohio. Extremely disappointing is the only words that come to mind. Starting with the parking lot, which resembles a bombed road in Baghdad! We checked in around 4 p.m. and saw a flood of water on the floor. It appears the leak came from the ice machine on the 2nd floor. Eventually a worker cleaned the hallway. However, the rest rooms in the area, which also got flooded with water, weren't touched. After I let the front desk person know about this around 9 p.m. The fix was to put an "out of order" sign on the Men's Room door. When we got to our room after check-

The room left something to be desired. The bathroom door didn’t latch and the shower water was lukewarm at best. The lady taking care of breakfast did her best to find allergy-friendly options for those who needed them, but there wasn’t much for her to work with. She was super friendly about it, though. For the price, it is what it is.

Positive: After the pancake machine didn’t work I went to get coffee. They were currently out and there was a leak by the food. Negative: I was frustrated because I didn’t get the pancakes. After some time I was able to get a cup of coffee outside of the lobby to the left. There was some sort of concrete construction mess that spread through the parking lot.

I'm not normally a complainer, but my fiancé and I stayed for the weekend because our hot water tank broke. Way over priced for the stay. Room was not the cleanest, smelled of mildew and had stains on the blankets. Also the water in the shower wouldn't get hotter than Luke warm. Which totally defeated the purpose of staying since we didn't have a hot shower at home either. Also the pool was FREEZING cold. However, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was very good. But today.. I was charged for a smoking fee.. I HAVE ASTHMA!!! I DONT EVEN SMOKE!! When I called the front desk guy he said there were cigarettes left in the room.. NOT POSSIBLE and it smelled of cigarettes.. NOT TRUE.. there was NO smoking!! He said he has a sensitive nose and smelled it when he went in there

All went great! Except we went for a swim on a Friday evening and the pool felt like it was like 68°. It definitely didn't feel 70°. The room is kind of warm when we got there but then it cooled off.. when the pool heater kicked on it seemed like it only kicked on for a minute and you could barely feel the warmth and I don't think it kicked on about 1 minute but then it wouldn't kick back on for 10 or 15 minutes.. it was more like it was putting out 1° warmer water than what you were sitting in. If you like a cold swim. That's a great small pool it goes from 3 ft to 4 ft really quickly and then to 5 ft which is a nice little pool. Plenty of room to get a small swim in. Just those little cold for us the one guy said it's supposed to be about 80 something and I said there's no way that i
