    The hotel is very dated but clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. I spent 2 nights. I did not see any bugs. I specifically asked for top floor and quiet and that's exactly what I got! Room overlooks the pool and the mountains in the background. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! The hot tub was clean and hot. Breakfast was nice. Tea and coffee always available. Lots of shopping and grocery in walking distance.

    Holiday Inn Express with the usual amenities plus a fridge and microwave, however it is need of some updating, especially the elevator. The breakfast was more extensive than many and staff go out of their way to make sure you find what you are looking for. The TV didn't work and nothing happened the first night I called it in. The next day they did get it going after a second report. I found the WiFi connection confusing and contrary to the instruction provide. I did figure it out on mine own though and it was a fast connection. The hotel is across the street from a supermarket.

    Worst WiFi I’ve ever seen at a hotel. If WiFi is an important part of your stay, this is the wrong hotel.
