The water kept pressure was going low when a neighbor was in the shower. I was not given the room with walk in shower for handycap like I requested because he said I booked through third party. I almost fell because the tub was very greasy & slippery. I called him when I was in the room & he was very rude. I have never been mention about third party before.

One of the best holiday inn express locations I’ve ever stayed at. The woman who serves breakfast is the absolute sweetest and we were crushed to find out she’s having health issues. The staff is top notch and very professional! Very friendly people. Extremely clean. Good little gym, but the pool was closed when we visited. The room is so cozy and comfortable. Well lit without being harsh. Really nice night time accent lights in the room. This room is better than some of the higher end properties I’ve stayed at. And free parking!
