Lots of room to work, with plenty of tables, outlets, etc. It's in kind of a roundabout location, but it's easy enough to get to the freeway.

My opinion is that many hotels of this caliber...i.e., stopover properties alongside the highway with "free breakfast"...can get by providing just the bare minimum, knowing that most guests will move on after one night, and not expect much to begin with.

This Holiday Inn Express in Beaumont, however, is much better than you'd think:
so clean and new, I can't believe its been open 3+ years; fairly large rooms with nice fixtures and amenities; pleasant staff; and a decent spread of (barely edible) food in the morning. (Recommended: coffee, oatmeal, bananas).

No serious complaints at all.
The rooms are a bit dark as someone wrote in an earlier review, and it's on a remote plot of land (but still a 2 minute drive to that Rite Aid shopping center, and about a 7 minute drive further east on Oak Valley Parkway to Beaumont Avenue, where there is a Stater Bros. supermarket, Dominos Pizza, Starbucks, etc.)

Highly recommended.

This hotel and staff are wonderful. My 11 and 13 year old boys loved the driving range located at the hotel. The hotel gave us balls for free and we hit them for at least two hours. We stayed at the hotel because it is so close to Forest Falls where we went sledding.

We stayed here for our second time last week (December, 2010). We enjoy this hotel enough to make it our unofficial half-way point between Arizona and Northern CA. The staff is REALLY friendly and professional. Upon check-out, one staff member in the hallway actually said, "Thanks for visiting. We hope to see you again!" That was impressive.

Convenient to the I-10 / 60 / 215 / 15 freeways.

Both visits, our room was spacious and clean. So clean, that I actually took a bath (yes!) on this last visit. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was simple, but the eating area was clean. There was a staff person in the eating area to replenish items.

The only "complaint" would be the television. We could barely get it to work this last time. (picture problem) We called the front desk and they offered to come fix it immediately (we passed). The next day, we reported the problem to the housekeeping staff and she said that she'd fix the problem immediately.

Also, this hotel is conveniently located next to cheap ice cream (Thrifty's ice cream at Rite Aid across the street) and a golf driving range across the parking lot. The family looks forward to this after a long ride in the car.

Will not hesitate to recommend this hotel. Just be sure to lock up your vehicle as it's next to a very busy freeway with lots of traffic. (We did not hear this traffic from the hotel.)
