    comfortable room

    i had such a great experience at the holiday inn express! the staff was friendly and even let us check in early since we were attending a concert. the room was comfortable with two queen beds, making it perfect for our family. everything was clean, and i appreciated the attention to detail.

    the breakfast could use more options.

    The stay was pleasant with comfy beds and friendly staff. I enjoyed the clean pool and hot tub after busy days. The breakfast options were decent but could improve. I appreciated the early check-in since we arrived for a concert. Plenty of nearby restaurants made dining easy. 😊

    The bathroom provided thoughtful accessibility features, making my stay comfortable and easy. It made me feel secure with grab bars and lowered vanities, reflecting a kind consideration for guests like me.

    More attention to cleanliness would be appreciated.

    comfy beds
    breakfast spread
    indoor pool
    noisy bathroom vent

    I loved the super comfy beds that made for a great sleep and the nice breakfast spread in the morning with plenty of good options. The indoor pool was a relaxing highlight, and I really enjoyed the warm jacuzzi after a long day. Just a heads up, the bathroom vent was a bit noisy, but it didn't ruin my stay at all. 😊

    comfy king bed
    clean room
    decent snack bar
    problematic elevator

    Nice room, breakfast needs work

    Stayed here for a quick pit stop on a road trip. The king bed was super comfy, and the room was clean. Only bummer was the breakfast – eggs were super dry, and the choices weren't great. Had to resort to fast food after! At least the snack bar was decent! But the elevator? Total mess, almost knocked me over.

    road noise

    A suite with two beds proved comfortable and exceptionally quiet despite being close to the interstate, making for a restful night. The breakfast spread was impressive, featuring a pancake machine, biscuits and gravy, and delicious cinnamon rolls. Unfortunately, limited dining options within the hotel itself were a drawback, as well as some inconsistencies in staff availability. Plenty of parking and nearby restaurants provided convenience during the stay.

    great breakfast
    ideal location
    pool supervision

    The comfy beds ensured everyone got a good night's rest, and the breakfast spread helped fuel our busy days. Staying with my cousin made it even more fun!

    In my wife’s opinion, a pool monitor would have helped supervise rowdy kids. It was tough for us to relax while the pool was taken over by energetic youngsters.

    Our stay was fantastic with comfy beds and a pleasant atmosphere. The fitness room had dumbbells and cardio equipment which I loved! We also appreciated the clean pool and hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. We enjoyed the convenience of nearby restaurants too.

    malfunctioning elevator

    The room was cozy and location was convenient. Perfect for our group getaway!

    The only downside was the elevator doors not functioning properly, which was a bit concerning during our stay.

    A Comfortable Family Getaway

    We had a fantastic stay! Our room was spacious with a comfy bed and excellent air conditioning, perfect for hot days. The hot breakfast exceeded expectations, especially the omelet station. Early check-in was a pleasant surprise. For families, explore local restaurants nearby for dinner options.

    Totally recommend for a weekend trip

    Comfortable beds, spacious room with a flat-screen TV, quiet atmosphere for sleeping near the interstate, and a fitness center to work off those extra calories.

    The breakfast selection was rather disappointing.
