Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Perry

We chose this hotel for a relaxing 1-night stop during a long camping trip. Hotel appearance is good. Nice lobby, breakfast area, pool, etc. But it became frustrating when we had to change rooms twice. First room's door would not close and lock automatically as it should. You'd shut it -- try pulling it hard to engage and nothing. Well, we couldn't leave the room with all our stuff inside with this issue! I called front desk and was told ”it will probably work if you lift up on the door while shutting” but she was happy to give us another room. Yeah, that kinda worked but I'm not strong enough to lift one of those dang doors. Obviously the door issue must happen on multiple rooms for her to know the trick to address it. Second room -- the toilet would not flush properly. The water would rush in but not drain right and bowl started filling up more and more. My hubby checked tank to try and do a simple fix but no. So, we request room 3. Nice lady at desk gave us a suite room for our trouble. Even that room was odd. Previous smaller rooms had a/c control on wall. The suite wall thermostat/control did not work and you used the controls on actual ac/heating unit under window. Definitely a humidity issue in the room too -- no matter how much you'd turn up the ac, the sheets and linens had damp feel to them (like when you're in a very humid / hot beach type motel). Many rooms must have issues because while we waited on room #3 in lobby, we overhead another new guest come back to speak to clerk about a problem in his room (he was okay with staying in it, if she could just send maintenance person). The breakfast was very nice and enjoyable, I will say. However, I doubt we'll stay at this hotel again.
