The room was very clean! The breakfast was nice and the staff is very pleasant. The pool could have been cleaner but my son was happy to splash away before bedtime.

This Holiday Inn Express was a solid property. Clean, relatively comfortable, convenient. The room was a little difficult to navigate in my wheelchair and the bed was too high for me to sleep in it. I slept on the couch. Above average stay.

The staff are all extremely helpful and kind. Hotel is clean and well looked after. Connie in housekeeping was particularly amazing to us. We generally leave a very small amount of money for the people who clean our rooms when we travel. This is the first time ever we got a thank you note in return, from Connie. She told us she is the longest serving member of the hotel staff, having been there since opening. Very nice hotel, because of the people!
