- VKVaune KadlubekDec 30, 20255.0Very nice experience !!
- JHJohnny HunkinsDec 16, 20255.0Incredibly beautiful, especially for the price. We stayed at Marriott's Mission Inn last time and this Holiday Inn Express was nicer and less pretentious. The balcony was a nice surprise, the free breakfast buffet was more than passable, the room was immaculate, and the staff was super nice (the desk boy even remembered my name when passing by me randomly)
- SSSwimmerSiblingsDec 12, 20251.0Unfortunately, the soundproofing at this hotel is extremely poor. Noise comes from all directions — upstairs, hallways, and neighboring rooms — making it very difficult to rest. Additionally, the front desk was not available or responsive when assistance was needed. Overall, the stay was quite disappointing.
- LGLuanne GalizioNov 30, 20254.0It was nice and clean. Building overall was somewhat dated. My BIGGEST problem was locating it. It is on a hill above a minimall with very poor signs indicating how to navigate. Google maps tells you to make a right, and you end up in the Inn and Out drive thru line. Lol. I would have waited for a burger, but it was a very long line. I finally found some unlit signs that directed me. The lobby is also unmarked and difficult to distinguish (there is no pull in area.) Once you get there, it is surprising nice for the price point and location. Pay the extra for the upstairs room. Excellent conference room with high ceilings.
- RCRachel CoxNov 29, 20255.0The front desk agent checking us in recommended a WONDERFUL carneceria in town for dinner. Thank you so much again!!!
