"Lived up to the Holiday Inn Express standard."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Recently stayed at this hotel. We chose this hotel because first, it is a Holiday Inn Express and second was the location. Pre covid, Holiday Inn Express hotels became the first hotel that my wife and I searched for while traveling. Well, morning breakfasts are returning and the rooms themselves have always been exceptionally clean. No exceptions here. Check in went smooth by a very enthusiastic representative. I believe his name was John.
