Pleasantly surprised!

Pleasantly surprised! It's been years since I stayed at a holiday inn express and I wasn't sure what to expect. Room was clean and updated. Loved the Keurig! Breakfast was fantastic. Hot cinnamon rolls, pancake machine, etc. There was plenty to choose from each morning. The staff were excellent. Everyone was happy and friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome there and each employee seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. I haven't seen that kind of work ethic and attitude at any hotels recently so it was very refreshing. I will absolutely stay here again.

The rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was nice. The staff was friendly and courteous. The hotel was still under renovations. The drinking water did not appear safe. It was very cloudy. The staff gave out water..
