Belle Vernon Getaway: Unbeatable Holiday Inn Express Deals! - My Brain Dump of a Review (Seriously, Buckle Up!)
Okay, fine, I'll review the Belle Vernon Holiday Inn Express. But honestly, after the week I've had, I'm half expecting the in-room coffee maker to start quoting Nietzsche. Let's just dive in, shall we? And sorry in advance for the tangents. My brain apparently thinks it's a bouncy castle.
First Impressions & Let's Talk Accessibility (Because Seriously, It Matters)
So, Belle Vernon. Pennsylvania. Not exactly the Amalfi Coast, but hey, everyone's gotta have a vacation, right? Pulling up, the building looks… well, it looks like a Holiday Inn Express. Clean, predictable, the kind of place you know exactly what you're getting – which, in a world where my washing machine eats socks, is sometimes a blessed relief.
Accessibility: Alright, let's be real, this is important. From what I could see (and trust me, I scouted around), they seem to be trying. Wheelchair accessible certainly popped up on their list, and the elevator made things easier. But listen, I didn’t measure door width or anything, okay? I'm just saying, they claim to be trying, and that's a start. My experience was good for my personal accessibility - I am able-bodied.
Entry points: No crazy steps upon entry, which counts for something!
Ramps: Seemed adequate, but again, I couldn’t give a detailed structural analysis.
Bathroom: I didn't get a personal tour for the accessible rooms.
Overall: They've got the basics covered, at least.
The Room: My Temporary Fortress of Solitude (and Wi-Fi… Thank God for the Wi-Fi!)
- Internet Access: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise the Wi-Fi gods! Because, let's be honest, if I can't binge-watch trashy reality TV in peace after surviving a day of meetings… well, let's just say things get ugly. They also list "Internet [LAN]" – I didn't even know that was still a thing. Probably for the hardcore gamers or people who need to connect to ancient servers, I guess.
- Available in all rooms:
- Air conditioning: Crucial. Absolutely crucial. Because humidity is the devil.
- Alarm clock: Fine. I use my phone.
- Bathrobes: I'd wear 'em all the time… if I wasn't always spilling coffee down them.
- Blackout curtains: Needed. Especially after the "incident" with the hotel bar… (more on that later).
- Coffee/tea maker: Essential for my survival.
- Ironing facilities: For those moments you suddenly need to look vaguely professional.
- Mini bar: Full of overpriced snacks I'll probably avoid.
- Non-smoking: Thank you!
- Private bathroom: Yes, please!
- Refrigerator: Always a plus. Leftovers!
- Smoke detector: Hopefully in good working order.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Repeat: Praise the Wi-Fi gods!
The Room Itself: A Few More Thoughts
Okay, so, the room. It was clean. REALLY clean. Like, I could've eaten off the… well, maybe not the floor. But the surfaces were spotless. A definite plus. They list "Daily housekeeping," which is good, because I'm pretty sure my room after a weekend would be considered a biohazard zone. Plus, the “Soundproofing” was much appreciated because the hotel parking lot offered a symphony of car alarms and late-night arrivals.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Crisis)
- Breakfast: They have "Breakfast [buffet]". Which, on a good day, is a glorious spread of carbs and questionable fruit. On a bad day, it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland of lukewarm scrambled eggs.
- Restaurants: Listings show "Restaurants" (plural), but not much details.
- Snack Bar: A lifesaver, especially after that… ahem… bar experience.
- Other Dining: They had “Breakfast takeaway service” which is great for getting an early start.
Things to Do (Beyond Hiding in Your Room)
- Fitness Center: Look, I intended to use the Fitness center. I really did. But after the aforementioned bar experience (vodka… never again!), the thought of a treadmill was… unsettling.
- Swimming Pool [outdoor]: I saw it. Looked… refreshing. I might have just been too frazzled to try it.
- Sauna: I'm torn on saunas. They’re good for detoxing, but what about the lingering smells of other peoples' sweat?
- Spa: I wouldn't mind some "Body scrub" and "Massage" right about now.
Services and Conveniences: Because, Let’s Face It, We All Need a Little Help Sometimes
- Cash withdrawal: Helpful, especially for those moments when you really need a snack.
- Concierge: I didn’t use the concierge. I was too busy trying to un-see that bar incident.
- Facilities for disabled guests: See above.
- Dry cleaning: Maybe I should have used that. My clothes are probably still reeking of… well, let’s move on.
- Luggage storage: Crucial. Because what else are you going to do with that suitcase full of existential angst?
- Laundry service: Again, should maybe have utilized this.
Cleanliness and Safety: Trying to Stay Alive in This Crazy World
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good to hear.
- Cashless payment service: The future is now!
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Always appreciated.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere! Snaps fingers Good job!
- Room sanitization opt-out available: A sensible choice.
The Belle Vernon Holiday Inn Express: The Verdict (and a Few Tears)
Look, it's a Holiday Inn Express. It's not the Ritz. It's not the Four Seasons. But it is clean, relatively comfortable, and has free Wi-Fi. And sometimes, that's all you need. It's a solid, reliable choice for a quick getaway, business trip, or a place to recoup from a week of questionable decisions.
My Honest Rating: 3.75 out of 5 Stars. (Mostly because of the Wi-Fi and the fact that I survived)
Final Thought: I'd stay again. (And this time, I swear, I'll try the gym…)

Luxury Algarve Escape: Villa Miguel's Private Pool & Games Paradise!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine, robotic itinerary. This is a messy, honest, and ridiculously human attempt to plan a trip to… checks notes …the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Belle Vernon By IHG Pricedale in the glorious, if slightly obscure, U.S. of A. Let's see what we can dig up here.
Trip Title: Belle Vernon or Bust…and Probably Naptime
Dates: (Let's pretend) October 26th - 28th, 2024 (because booking things way in advance is what responsible adults do…right?)
Location: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Belle Vernon By IHG Pricedale, Pricedale, Pennsylvania. (Man, that's a mouthful. Pray for me, spellcheck.)
My Mission (Should I Choose to Accept It): To escape the relentless tyranny of laundry and possibly, just possibly, experience something other than the beige walls of my apartment.
Day 1: The Great Escape & The Pursuit of Pizza
- Morning (Let's be realistic, it's probably closer to Noon): The dread of packing. This is where things always go off the rails. I swear, I'll be halfway down the highway and realize I've forgotten both my phone charger and my dignity. The packing process usually involves me throwing half the contents of my closet into a suitcase, yelling at the cat (who's probably judging my fashion choices), and then deciding I definitely need that velvet jumpsuit "just in case." (When, oh when, will I learn?)
- Afternoon: The Highway Hustle: The drive! Traffic will, of course, conspire against me. I'm picturing construction, a detour that takes me through a town with exactly one gas station, and a rogue flock of geese that will hold up traffic for a solid hour. (It's Pennsylvania, people. Anything is possible.) But, I'll combat it with a curated playlist of 80s power ballads and strategically placed snacks. Think: Cheese-its, gummy bears, and those little peanut butter cracker packs that always manage to get a crumb explosion everywhere.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Arrival & Hotel Reconnaissance:
- Check-in: Pray for a friendly receptionist! I'm hoping they're not one of those hotels where the check-in process feels like an interrogation. (Do I really need to explain my entire life story just to get a room key?)
- Suite Inspection: I'll do the obligatory bed bounce, check the water pressure in the shower (a must), and probably spend 20 minutes trying to figure out how to work the TV remote. (Modern technology, am I right?) The real test? The coffee situation. If the brew is weak or it tastes like it's been sitting there since the Reagan administration, there will be consequences. (Okay, maybe just a grumpy email to customer service.)
- The Pizza Quest: Dinner! Gotta find some pizza. I'll consult Yelp and Google Reviews and probably get paralyzed by choice. But, whatever I decide, it better be cheesy, and it better be good. (Pizza is serious business.) Should I order a whole pizza and eat the whole thing? That is an absolutely possibility.
- Possible late-night swim in the hotel pool. Assuming it is in good shape. (If the pool is green, I'm calling it a night.)
Day 2: The Historical Mystery & the Art of the Lazy Morning
- Morning: The Sleep-In Saga: Ah, the sweet, sweet luxury of not having to leap out of bed at the crack of dawn. This is what I live for. I will probably wake up, check my phone, drink coffee, and then contemplate what the world has in store for me.
- Mid-Morning: The Great Outdoors (Maybe): Okay, so I've been doing some surface-level research (read: skimming a Wikipedia page), the area. There's likely a park somewhere. Would I actually go? Probably. I'll pack my camera and attempt to get in touch with nature.
- Early Afternoon: History Hunting: I'll make a fleeting attempt at some historical location. I may give up halfway through. It won't be boring. I'll find something interesting. I'm sure of it. The key is to find something to do with less than a 10-minute drive.
- Late Afternoon: The Epic Battle of Naptime vs. Vigilance: This is the crux of the trip, the real challenge. Will I succumb to the siren song of the hotel bed and the lure of a mid-afternoon nap? Or will I bravely push through, fueled by lukewarm coffee and sheer willpower? The answer, my friends, is likely the former. Always the former. I'll probably lie in the bed, think about things. Maybe watch a cheesy movie.
- Evening: The Second Pizza Assault & TV Binge: The second pizza, this time with reckless abandon. There is no such thing as too much pizza on a weekend trip. Then, the ultimate hotel ritual: channel surfing and a marathon of whatever trashy show is currently captivating the masses. Or, you know, catch up on some sleep.
Day 3: The Departure & The Post - Trip Blues
- Morning: The Reluctant Departure: The dread of packing, part two. This time, it's even worse because I'll have to pack the remnants of the trip (empty snack wrappers, half-eaten pizza boxes, and the overwhelming post-trip void). I need a vacation from my vacation.
- Breakfast Debacle: The free continental breakfast at the hotel! This is always a gamble. Will there be stale bagels and lukewarm scrambled eggs? Or a glorious spread of fresh fruit, fluffy pancakes, and perfectly crispy bacon? I'll keep my expectations low, but secretly, I'm holding out hope for the latter.
- Late Morning: The Drive Home Shuffle: The drive back always feels much longer. I'll try to stay awake and pay attention to the road. (Wish me luck.)
- Afternoon: The Unpacking Apocalypse: Back home. The chaos of unpacking. The post-vacation blues. The realization that laundry has multiplied exponentially. It's a bittersweet moment. Part of me wants to go back to the hotel immediately. The hotel is so close.
Contingency Plans (Because Life):
- Bad Weather: If it rains, I'll huddle in the hotel room, watch movies, and eat all the snacks.
- Unexpected Feelings of Existential Dread: I'll deal with it. Maybe go for a walk, journal, or go back to sleep.
- Hotel Wi-Fi Troubles: I'll rage internally and then use my phone's hotspot.
Emotional Summary:
I'm going. I'm excited. I'm also exhausted. I'm hoping this trip will be a nice little break from the humdrum of… well, life. Will it be perfect? Absolutely not. Will it be memorable? Probably. Will I eat too much pizza? Without a doubt. Wish me well. And if you see a slightly disheveled person in a hotel lobby, juggling a suitcase, a coffee cup, and a bewildered expression, it's probably me.
