⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service
Arriving close to midnight can often feel like a gamble, but the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Daphne–Spanish Fort Area made a late check-in feel effortless. Walking in at 11:50 pm, all it took was sharing my last name, the front desk attendant already had everything prepared and ready to go. No delays, no extra steps, just smooth and professional service when it mattered most.
Despite first-floor construction, the experience was surprisingly unaffected. No clutter in the way, no lingering construction smells, and no disruption to the stay. A clear sign of good management and attention to guest comfort. Once in the room, the beds stood out immediately, extremely comfortable and exactly what you want after a long travel day (5 hours).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Offerings
Morning brought another pleasant surprise. The breakfast attendant was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, setting a positive tone for the day. And for someone who’s stayed in hotels across the country, this location did something rare!! They offered turkey sausage. That simple, thoughtful option made a big difference and showed awareness for guests who are selective about meat choices. For this 6’8” traveler, that detail didn’t go unnoticed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Final Thoughts:
This Holiday Inn Express delivers where it counts: efficiency, cleanliness, comfort, and small touches that make guests feel considered. Late-night arrivals, construction phases, and breakfast service were all handled with care. A reliable, well-run property that understands how to take care of travelers the right way.

This HIE is right off I-10. Really easy to get to. The staff was outstanding and as always, it's a really nice hotel. First time at this HIE and I'm glad I choose it. I'll be coming back since it's right at the distance I like to drive when I leave the Dallas area heading back to Florida.

Checked in early to get some much needed sleep and was about asleep at 1520 hrs when all of a sudden there was a LOUD LOUD LOUD boom and I thought it was an explosion and then I heard a vehicle running it scared the crap out of me.
I called down to the desk to report it and found out it was the hotel owner car parked right out front under the canopy which made the noise louder.
The clerk said she was sorry but that didn’t help as I never went to sleep.
