The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is good and the shuttle service is very convenient and was a nice surprise (they'll take you anywhere within 2 miles and pick you up). The staff was all very nice and helpful.

The rooms are large and comfortable, the outdoor pool was a nice spot to relax at after our drive. The whole hotel was super clean and the staff accommodating. The breakfast in the morning was probably one of the best we've had at any hotel chain. Cannot say enough good things about this Holiday Inn Express.

good stay

Not the most up to date hotel, but it was clean and the bed was comfy enough. It's a bit of a maze getting to the elevator from the front. The front desk people were terrific--they welcomed us back every time we walked in the front door. There's a free shuttle that will take you anywhere within a two mile radius which was very convenient.

While the hotel is older, the property was well maintained. Normally, we stay at another hotel nearby, but it was full. We visit Summit Race properties several times a year and we need a hotel that's not too far from the course.

To begin with, Alyssa did a fantastic job of checking us in. Although it was her first solo night at the desk, she was fast and pleasant. The hotel is older, but everything was clean and inviting. The mattresses were firm, and the most comfortable that I’ve ever experienced in a hotel setting. The water pressure in the shower was great and there was an ample supply of towels. Although I skipped it, my husband enjoyed the breakfast.. Finally, the price was equal to the value of the stay. We would definitely stay here again.
