What an experience! I have traveled the world and was shocked at this gem of a hotel! The entire experience has been exceptional. The facility was so clean you could eat off of the floors. Our rooms (324 and 326) were so well appointed down to the amazing upscale black out window treatments. The breakfast offering was expansive and delicious. But the most impressive aspect of our stay was the exceptional staff who provided 5 star service. Becca, who greeted us and checked us in was a Godsend! So friendly and helpful and kind!! Liz, who is responsible for the housekeeping for the facility is a work horse yet is super accommodating and gracious!! Holiday Inn Express needs to salute this location and use it as a standard to set for all locations!!! Thank you for all you do!!
