Fresh baked cookies are at the front desk every evening.The "business center" is located in a public area of the lobby, privacy is a little lacking but all of the essentials are present. The hotel has an indoor pool, and guest laundry. The... More

My husband always likes to stay in Holiday Inn Expresses because he loves their breakfast. This one was no surprise, but it's always nice when the late-night check in people are so pleasant and this gentleman was very nice to us.

We are regular guest of Holiday Inn Express. This hotel pretty much fit the bill for being up to standards with the usual, but no fridge or microwave in the rooms. This was the only real negative, rest was fine. Breakfast good, as usual. Room was clean, beds comfortable. Would stay here again.

I prefer to stay at Holiday Inn Express hotels when I'm traveling because they're clean, comfortable and friendly. But with this hotel there were a couple things which kept me from giving it a five-star review. I was a single guest in a double room with two queen beds. The wall socket behind the central bedside table had no additional... More

Stopped here for an overnighter while traveling through the area. Found the room to have a bad odor. The shower curtain rod was hanging low and loosly affixed to the wall.

Most everybody was gone by 7am. Breakfast was fine, hotel was very clean and staff was very nice. Parking was plentiful. Nothing bad to say about the place. Didn't stay long, just long enough to lay my head down.
