A peaceful night in Chesapeke..

Too smoky for some..
The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Chesapeke offers both smoking and non-smoking rooms and several non-smoking guests were put off by the odor of stale cigarettes, either in the hallways or in their non-smoking room.

Out of service..
Several guests have been inconvenienced by maintenance concerns at the older property, including broken vending machines and various areas completely closed for renovation or repairs, including the pool, fitness center, and laundry room. A few guests have also had difficulties with the free Wi-Fi.

It takes all kinds..
Though many guests recognize particular staff members for their professionalism, others have fallen short. Key issues include staff members working "out of uniform", indifferent or impolite customer service, and inconsistencies or oversights in housekeeping.
