"Very Good Service and Accommodation"

From the time we arrived early and needed to store our luggage we found the staff to be polite and helpful. When we checked in later that day there was a foul up with a prepaid reservation. This was courteously handled. The room was very nice and the complimentary breakfast was exceptional. We have always had loyalty points from stays with another hotel chain, but were favorably impressed by the quality and service by the Holiday Inn Express recommended by our sister in law.
