Staff was excellent, they’d go above and beyond without asking. Some plumbing/bathroom fixture issues in rm 202 at least. Overall a nice place to stay and better than the hotel immediately next door per some family members that stayed there at the same time. I would recommend

The hotel only had 1 room available, despite the fact that my reservation email clearly confirmed 2 rooms. The desk helper had no idea what was going on. My party was forced to find accommodations elsewhere.

We were in the area for my father's funeral - as were a lot of people. I do NOT appreciate the fact that, because rooms were filling up, the hotel decided to jump the rate by $50 per night. WE WERE THE REASON YOUR HOTEL WAS RENTING OUT A LOT OF ROOMS THAT NIGHT. No more Holiday Inn Express for us.
