It's really a great property! It is pet friendly and the first room they gave me smelled like wet dog. They were really nice about moving me, though. I think maybe they should set aside certain rooms for people with pets. You might want to give them a heads up if you have allergies. Everything overall was really clean and modern, though. I very nice, quiet stay!

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we checked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to our needs. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the complimentary breakfast — fresh, delicious, and a great way to start the day. The location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant hotel experience!

Unpacking at home we found we are missing an electric toothbrush which my husband used on the day of our checkout (in room 415) and blue cosmetic bag. We did a thorough search of our vehicle and house. These items are still missing. I called the front desk to see if the items were left in room. Was told by the attendant at the front desk that he would check lost and found, and he would check with the housekeeper who cleaned room 415 after our departure, and he would call me back. He never call back so early evening I called him back. He said that the items were not in lost and found. Housekeeper said she never saw items in the room. Very disappointed that staff member did not return my call. Will be looking for other accommodations in the future.
