There were electrical issues-we lost power in our bathroom twice and had to notify the desk. They promptly had maintenance address the issue and gave us use of an unoccupied room to shower while the problem was fixed. Also, the gentleman responsible for the breakfast buffet was overly chatty with guests to the point of letting food run out.

Our stay was great! Rooms where clean and beds very comfortable. For what we’re paid for room rate, which was reasonable, the hotel had great amenities as far as workout room and pool. Our kids had a ball and the Complementary breakfast was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.

In name only

I feel this location needs some Holiday Inn oversight. It definitely does not feel like an express. While the shell of the hotel is Holiday Inn, the rooms are not. Also the drive into the hotel is confusing and not in good shape. The bathrooms in particular need serious updating. See photos, the tub was not set right, so it makes loud poping and crunching noises when you move. I felt sorry for whoever was below me, but then again I heard every time the room above me was showering. The room walls were thin, heard everything from the busy street outside, and could hear everything from the hallway. I cant say I would recommend to any loyal Holiday Inn Express patrons. Not bad for a run of the mill hotel.
