The hotel was comfortable, breakfast was good, and staff were friendly. The downside was that housekeeping never cleaned our room one of the days/nights we were there, so we had to go to the desk and ask for towels, and figure out where to take trash.

I stayed 2 nights at Holiday Inn Express In Elkton, MD. I traveled from Tennessee to Maryland for my Best Friend’s wedding and selected this location due to it being fairly close to the wedding venue. The only complaint I have is the AC unit didn’t seem to be working properly. I had the temperature set at 65, and woke up at 3:30am soaked in sweat.

First time staying at the Holiday Inn Express after trying two other hotels in the are when visiting family. Pleasantly surprised with the staff, cleanliness and size of the rooms and the accommodations. Ample parking, free breakfast and a pool. They had Dove toiletries and a hairdryer. The only thing missing wouldve been a coffee maker but the hotel offers tea/coffee for your convenience on the mainfloor at any time. Worth the visit.
