This hotel exceeded our expectations! The swimming pools and hot tub were a highlight, complemented by the attentive and friendly staff who made sure we always had clean towels. Beyond the amenities, we really enjoyed the social aspect, making new friends during our stay. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering something for everyone. A special shout-out to the front desk team for their outstanding service – they were so welcoming and handled all our requests with ease. We would definitely stay here again Thank you so much for your great hospitality

It was very convenient due to the location of everything around us. Maybe if there was some type of weather stripping around the door to keep the sound out, but you can hear everything outside the door. That was the only problem. Everything else was Great

It's okay

The hotel was okay. Not an originial Holiday Inn Express. Felt like Motel 6 but a little nicer. Definely not worth the cost.
