the people at the front desk were helpful especially the manager by giving us discount on our 2 days stay because of the hot water issue. She's apologetic on the issue that happened. But the lady doing the breakfast is not helpful. She need customer service training.

Everything was great, but the coffee maker in the room didn’t work. We could get plenty of coffee and tea in the lobby, however, starting at 6am. The rooms aren’t very soundproof in terms of hearing highway noise. Once we were able to fall asleep. The noise didn’t wake us up.

Not the Holiday Inn Express standard we expected

This was the worst Holiday Inn Express we have stayed thus far. They advertised for free airport shuttle, however the service stops between noon to 5:00PM. We only got the email about the shuttle schedule after non-refundable booking. And they charged some kind of tax daily which we didn’t find out until checked in. I have not been to a Holiday Inn Express does not have decaf coffee in the lobby in the evening. Overall the hotel is outdated even though it was recently renovate, but they kept many of the old fixtures.

Total money grab - I was charged $20 to park my car. No mention of this when searching for a place to spend the night. It’s not the money, it’s the surprise and no need to charge a parking fee in this area
