Stayed here in a Sunday night last weekend.
Hotel was not busy.
Had to go down later in the evening for a roll
If toilet paper. How can they not stick it in the room?
Aldo, Keurig coffee pot in the room did not work the next day. Had to go down to the breakfast area to get a cup.
Mold in the shower.
No one at the front desk to speak to in the morning. Sign said if no one at desk leave your keys in the counter to check out.
Would probably book elsewhere next time.

I need consistency, and just like all other Holiday Inn Express in suburbs, this one delivers.
Friendly smile at the front desk, hot breakfast, and clean rooms without bells and whistles but with reachable plugs to charge my electronics.

Check in was easy! Our room was clean and the free breakfast is delicious! We stayed here for a local swim meet so the location was perfect! Oh and Avanti (a delicious restaurant is walking distance!)! If we come back to this swim meet we will for sure stay here again!

The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was very good for hotel food. The only complaint I have is there were no hooks in the bathroom to hang a towel or clothes
