A nice place to stay, very close to many conveniences

Comfortable beds, clean rooms and great breakfast choices.

Didn’t like the lack of sealed bar bathroom soap and presence of nonsealed bathroom amenities such as mouthwash. No individual bottles of shampoo/conditioner, only refillable non sanitary shower pump dispensers.

Pool hours were great. The kids got to swim for 1 1/2 hours even after a long day in the car. And lots of restaurants close by. Breakfast was good, kids loved the pancake machine. Rooms were clean. I’ll come back.

The bed is very comfortable and the rooms were very clean. Did not like being woke up by the false fire alarm and the breakfast was lacking (Covid)...but all in all...will be returning to Holiday Inn Express.

Dogs allowed, huge dog park nearby, friendly staff.

Nice place persons on the hotel are great my family and I really enjoy that.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean and breakfast was great

Conveniently located, clean, friendly staff, good breakfast. Hot tub needs some TLC but overall great stay and property.

Bathroom not exceptionally clean. Breakfast was okay, but not great.

Other than then the delay in room readiness, we couldn't get into our room until after 6pm due to staff not getting to all rooms to clean in time for new guests, the stay was pleasant. Room and bath were clean and comfortable. Hot tub and pool were nice. Free breakfast had many choices and decent. Some remolding and updating going on but nothing that would keep me from staying here again.

Rude check in, clean and quiet room, bath tub did not drain, excellent check out. Also noon check out.

Great breakfast. Beds had both firm & soft pillows. Good sized room. Refrigerator had a freezer space too. Microwave. Keurig coffee maker. Bath & Body Works products in room. My only complaints were hearing sounds from hallway & could hear thru vent in bathroom. Otherwise it was a great stay. I prefer this hotel over Knights Inn & definitely over Days Inn. I would stay here again.

No wifi can be used!!!!!!!! I don't know what's happened, I can connect wifi with my any electric devices

The price was higher for the weekend. The elevator broke. The hot water ran out quickly.
