Great

The person who checked me in was super helpful and one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. The beds were extremely comfortable in the fridge kept my stuff very cold. I stayed there because my two-year-old was having surgery in the morning and it was super close to the hospital.

Quiet and convenient to Rte. 40 Unaware that parking is not free which is common in metro areas but this was far from metro. And, when paying online for parking, the website NEVER showed me how much I was paying for parking. The exercise room was a joke...3 cardio machines but no weights, towels or (I believe) water.

Will not stay there again.

First time ever to pay for parking at an Express. ESPN was out for the whole stay. The under the window AC unit had no way to direct airflow, so it constantly blew across the bed making it uncomfortably cold there to get the rest of the room cool. Could hear people above walking when the TV was off. Found a roach crawling on the desk this morning. Staff was very nice.

Overall the stay was pleasant. The staff were very polite and friendly. The room was clean and well stocked. Breakfast was nice as well, with an assortment of foods. The negatives are parking is an extra $11.50 and the pool is not on site. The pool is shared with the hotel next door.
