We have found the Holiday Inn Express to be a great hotel. We’ve used for work and vacations. The staff has always been friendly and courteous. The service is fast. I recommend using Holiday Inn Express whenever you need a hotel. Prices are usually really reasonable.

I stayed 1 night recently and the front desk lady doesn't smile and is rude! It felt like pulling teeth to get my vending receipt, calling and emailing multiple times. I felt like an annoyance rather than a paying guest. Loud stomping at 5 AM above my room made sleep difficult. Decent complimentary breakfast. Will avoid this place next time.

We needed a local place to stay while our wood floors were being refinished. So glad we chose the Holiday Inn Express. All the staff were very helpful during our 3-day stay. The breakfast was fresh and abundant!
