Good variety of breakfast items. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Halls were clean. The road to enter the property was reduced to half a lane because of construction. The work was temporary but no signage indicating Holiday Inn Express was at the end of the lane.

The Expedia website says the pet fee is $25.00. The Hotel charged me $40.00. They said they updated all their 3rd party sites to this change. This was not right and we had no choice.

This is a clean hotel set back from a slow highway so it is not noisy from outside. I noticed several Tesla chargers in the back. About 2 minutes off of I-81. Many gas station and a few chain restaurants are nearby. 5 minutes to VMI, another 2 minutes to Washington and Lee University and central Lexington. Check in was about 2 minutes. My primary complaint is the plumbing noise that comes from the abutting room, which is about as loud a shower from one’s own room in an average hotel. There are very good automatic coffee machines. The breakfast area is a bit small so becomes congested easily. We stayed two nights and most food items were already depleted at about 9:20 AM Sunday morning.

Normally I have GREAT stays at the Holiday Inn, but this stay wasn't as great. The bathroom seemed half cleaned. When I pulled my covers back on the bed, there was crumbs and hair all over the pillows and sheets. I put on both of my jackets and turned the pillows cases inside out; and slept on top of the sheets, it was too late to make a big deal out of it at the time, and I'm a traveler so we don't get as much sleep. The Staff is always amazing. I'll be staying there again in the future, but please make sure to inspect the beds and bathrooms please.
