We reallt enjoyed our stay here this past weekend. Spent 4 nights, front desk staff were great to deal with. Kids loved the pool with the waterslide and our room was amazing. Breakfast was good as well. The lady working the breakfast area was very friendly and quick to refill all the food/drink options. Thank you

It was going through renovations which was good but it was in the lobby area. The breakfast was good on the week days, but on the weekend people just sat for over an hour visiting friends. so there was no where to eat plus all the food was pretty well all gone.

Little Disappointed

I always stay at Holiday Inn Express. They have consistent. Clean rooms, great service and good breakfast. This was my first subpar stay. Service wasn’t very friendly and breakfast was not as good. Renovations were going on in the lobby and affected the breakfast area making it uncomfortable.
