I liked that the property was so conveniently located to shopping and dining establishments. The breakfast was excellent. The refrigerator, microwave oven, and coffee maker in the room were very much appreciated. I did a lot of walking, but appreciated the existence of the on-site exercise room. Last, the ice machine was always functional. I wish all lodging establishments were like this Holiday Inn Express.
