One of the staff told me the hotel is only about four years old..very large modern lobby..it looks new..breakfast is almost the same menu at most Holiday Inn Express but some of the food on the menu is not so good sometimes and other stuff I like..the very nice lady who prepares the breakfast had all my favorites this stay..fresh cinnamon rolls..they had the traditional scrambled eggs and both types of their omelettes..these are instant but they were made to perfection..also they have coloring posted in the lobby from kids who stayed their..so heartwarming

Everything was good from the front desk employee to the room and breakfast. It is a little off the main road, but I consider that a good thing because it eliminates a lot of traffic noise from outside.

Staff is incredible!

When I checked in it was very busy Ryan handle each guest like a pro. He took his time with each guest, maintained high energy and explained the check in to each guest throughly. I was very impressed by this young man’s ability to handle that rush by himself. Everyone from housekeeping to the breakfast staff was friendly, accommodating and professional. I will make sure to stay here if I’m visiting again.
