Clean and comfortable. Unfortunately got positioned next to a room with a child that screamed all night leading to minimal sleep. Grounds seemed nice but at night there were several people going through trash/riding around facility that raised question about safety of vehicles.

The room was not good. It was on the first floor but felt like a basement. The windows faced a large mechanical fan, and the room had a bad smell. I reported it to the reception, but the staff member was not helpful. I am a frequent customer of Holiday Inn Express, but after this experience, I will have to think twice before booking again.

Everything about our stay here was perfect. I read the other reviews about breakfast and don’t know how anyone could say anything negative - they had cheese & egg omelettes, bacon, sausage, pancakes, apples, oranges, bananas, cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, cold cereal, yogurt, bagels, English muffins, bread for toast, juice and coffee. Honestly, what else can you ask for?

Parking, check-in, and check-out was easy. Breakfast ends at 9:30 so we missed it. The lady was kind enough to offer us muffins even though they already closed up the kitchen. Only problem we had that turned us off completely was the smell of our room, the completely dirty sink, and some type of tick that was on our bed. We also found another dead insect on the other bed. We tried calling front desk, but phones were not working so we took our stuff and went straight to front desk. She was able to get us into another room that was cleaner, no foul odor, and no insects.

While it’s directly across the park, the hotel is extremely outdated. It is poorly lit, the ac unit is not centralized, and it’s extremely loud. Would not stay here again.

It was a great place to stay for a family getaway. Everything was very clean and plenty of space. The breakfast wasnt as good as other Holiday Inn Express. It didn't have as much offered and the fruit was all bad, which was disappointing for the kids when trying to feed them healthy on the go.
