Great place to stay

We stayed at the Holiday Inn and Express in Watertown SD while attending a two day car show. From check in to check out our experience was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly, the room was spacious and very clean. The bed and bedding was very comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was delicious and we'll staffed with incredibly friendly gals. Location was very convenient too.
