    What a fantastic stay for our 1 year anniversary! When my husband and I arrived to this hotel, we were put at ease with its beautiful and clean aesthetic, refreshing aroma, and greeting by friendly and hospitable staff! Dev and their newest staff member were exceptionally kind and helped to make our weekend getaway a pleasurable experience. We really appreciated our room on the first floor and loved how neat everything was. The pillow cases were stitched “firm” and “soft,” which was such an elegant touch! Imagine our surprise when we saw all Dove products in the bathroom! The breakfast was delicious and had a good variety (including my fave-turkey sausage). Our stay was quiet, comfortable, and in a solid location to get to our other stops for the weekend. As a bonus, one of the other staff Piyu I think, helped me fill up my water bottle at the fountain in the hallway when my arms were full with towels. Amazing gracious and thoughtful staff! We’d definitely stay here again!

    This place is exactly what you'd expect from a typical Holiday Inn Express. Clean, modern, basic rooms and free breakfast! It was overall a standard experience. Nothing bad, but nothing to write home about. I appreciate the nice clean rooms, comfortable bed and pillows. In the morning I was pleasantly surprised to see a little pond outback. It wasn't a fabulous pond, but better than looking at a concrete pad or buildings! The only ding I'd give it was trying to understand the man at the front desk. I called because I know our check in was going to be very late at night. I called ahead of time hoping they would note that for me. I didn't want them to think we were a no show and give up our room. The guys said not to worry and the room would be there no matter what time we showed up. He was a bit hard to understand due to a thick accent. He also didn't take any of my information. Between that and the accent I didn't feel super confident our conversation. However upon arrival our room was indeed waiting for us and check in was seamless! Overall a good stay! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    Owners make all the difference in my wide range of reviews. This one just didn’t measure up as the others.
