They are currently renovating & what’s been done looks great! Although there’s not a huge selection for breakfast, it’s a lot better than just pastries and cereal. Our room was clean and our floor was quiet.

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.

Great place to stay at…
The room was very nice and our stay was good, close to where we needed to be to conduct business and see family and friends. The hotel was difficult to find but that was because we were not accustomed to the location. Would definitely stay here again.

Customer service was great. Both staff members during check in and check out were great. Any questions i had were answered in a kind and professional way. The staff member did tell us they were renovating just in case things didnt seem right or anything. But we didnt experienced anything out of the ordinary. The room was clean, a lot of towels available. Bed was comfy. Definitely coming back.
