Checked in Sunday evening and had to wait for desk clerk to come. She was pleasant and got us checked in quickly. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and bathroom had all we needed. Breakfast was weak. The staff said due to the bad weather the trucks hadn't made their deliveries. Very little to choose from. Milk was sour and coffee was empty. I'd stay at hotel again but be weary of the breakfast. Definitely not up to the Holiday Inn Express standards.

Internet sucks.

The room is clean and lobby smells good. They really blast their heater in the hallway which could be a good and bad thing for some people. If you stay here to do some work in your computer and need some internet connection, good luck with that. It will keep you get disconnected.
