Fe 8,2111 I stayed here for 2 nights and found this place to have the best value compared to 2 other near by hotels that I stayed in. It was designed in a simple fashion and had a comfortable room. I felt safe because all parking was well lit and close to the main lobby. You can access DelawarePpark in... More

Don't let the 3 stars fool you ....they have great rooms, great service and good location. I stay at 40 nites in Holiday Inns per year and this is my favorite! Have family nearby but we stay here every time. Clean upscale lobby, clean indoor pool, clean rooms, clean breakfast area. Very good breakfast... biscuits are flaky and not dried... More

Probably be my shortest review to date as there's not much to say about this location except that it's top notch all the way. I've stayed in 16 different HI Expresses over the last 2 years and this ranks as the best one so far. The breakfast menu is typical of others, but look away from your plate and you'd... More

This hotel is a delight, from check-in to check-out. The staff calls after check-in to make sure your room is satisfactory. And it is more than satisfactory. It is extremely user-friendly, down to the pillowcase labels of "firm" and "soft" so there's no guessing. The alarm clock instructs you how to operate it. The room is beautiful, parking is easy,...

Has to be one of the nicest Holiday Inn Express's I've stayed at; and I've stay at quite a few of them. Hotel is fairly new, well maintained and well built, unlike other Express's that have been slapped up with not much care. Has a well laid out lobby with plenty of room for breakfast and meetings. The rooms are... More

I have spent many times in different hotels, but never had I felt the feeling of complete satisfaction as I did here at the Holiday Inn express!

This property is only two years old and is well maintained and beautifully equipped. We were traveling from Georgia to New York for my mother's funeral.

My wife and I travel up and down I-95 and I-85 fairly frequently to visit our far-flung family members. Over the past few years we've stayed at a number of motels between Florida and Maine.
