This was a place we stayed waiting for a cruise. I would not recommend. The only good thing was a newer bathroom. There was no linen for the pull out couch even after asking for it. After the room was cleaned the dirty cleaning cloth was left in the room and I had to go ask for toilet paper as it was not refilled. I think there may be better options around.

Was a very nice hotel, clean and friendly staff, and great location to everything. Unfortunately we weren’t able to use the pool, but looked very nice. Parking was convenient in garage. Neighboring hotel seemed a bit sketchy, but wasn’t an issue. Would recommend this hotel.

Meh
This hotel is not up to par with other Holiday Inn Express hotels. Everything in general looks worn and rough…needs a real update instead of a coat of paint. Shuttle from the hotel was 1+ hrs. Front desk person was not particularly friendly or helpful. Breakfast attendants were very nice and quickly refilled foods.
