Breakfast was underwhelming. The turkey sausage links looked like they've had a hard life, dried out and spikey. The staff were nice and friendly enough. Good location with restaurants next door. Clean with nice amenities like a pool and spa. First times at Holiday Inn Expresses and will seek them out since they do seem better than other options in the mid range.

The workers seemed happy to be there, which made for a pleasant experience. The room was clean and had eco friendly toiletries. The complimentary breakfast had lots of different choices. Also, when we ran into an issue with the juice dispenser it was promptly resolved by the staff. Overall the stay was nice and I would definitely return.

The worst breakfast

The room was comfortable and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was the worst! Coffee was barely lukewarm, the hot food looked like it had been sitting out for a couple of days, and selection was low. The bagel I ate was stale.

Great stay

This hotel is always a pleasure to stay at. The gentleman who checked us in was very personable and helpful. He remembered me from my last stay and gave me a room where I requested. The room is always very well presented; clean, comfortable and quiet.
