The location is great however, this hotel is too expensive for what it is. I paid 1080 for three nights last week. Also they seem to have a permanent problem in the system because our toilet would not flush properly and the paper never got flushed. We called someone to fix it and it did not get fixed, so next day we called again and the maitnance (the second one) told us that they have a slow system and so the water pressure is not good in the whole hotel. I was not to happy to everytime have to push the toilet paper into the toilet water in hopes that it would get flushed. I usually like holiday inn express for the price and quality but this made me realize that some holiday inn express are not up to standards. Also they had offered me a rate of $265 for each night, and my boyfriend was there at the front destk when they offered us at this price since we stayed for 4 nights. Then the miscommunication of the front desk personel the girl at the front desk lied to us and said that she never mentioned 265, but she did, she said its ok we can make all nights the same price, now when we went to pay, she lied and said the price remains at at 365. For me, there is nothing worse than to be lied to by the costumer service people who made the mistake to tell us this so we could remain in the hotel only to charge us the full price. This is very sneaky way to do things.. I will not be paying almost $400 a night for a place not worth it.

I would stay again
Our room was your standard holiday inn style which was what we were expecting and all we needed to spend one night before our cruse. It had everything we needed. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good. It appeared to be in a safe neighborhood. The shuttle driver was very nice. Best of all they picked us up from the airport and shuttled us to the pier the next day. I would definitely stay again.

Although right next to I-5, the sound-proofing was excellent. The room with a king-sized bed was appropriately sized although the bathroom was a bit small. Linen service was provided each day (yay!) and parking was convenient. In a busier time of year, the parking spaces would be too small for an SUV or truck. Overall, great property.
