I stayed for 2 nights in early January. It snowed 6-9 inches the first night I was here. When I left for the day, my car had already been cleared of snow! I overheard the front desk person say their maintenance person did the snow removal of all the cars! Now that is top notch service! The view is beautiful and all rooms have a small balcony to take in the fresh northern air! I would stay here again and again.

I’m here for a wedding. I stayed two nights. Continental breakfast was good. The room was comfortable and I slept like a baby. My group was pretty loud, but you could not hear them through the thick walls at the hotel. Everything was very clean. The shower was hot and had a powerful spray. The receptionist was thorough and kind and the man cleaning up the continental breakfast area was quick and efficient. It was a great experience.

I have stayed here numerous times for both work and vacation. The rooms are worn but fine by hotel standards. The most recent stay had me concerned with the maintenance of this location.
The shower was spitting out brown water and took ages to give hot water. After finally getting clear hot water I took a minimalist shower and decided this was my last stay at this IHG location. I’ll pass on the morning coffee. I’m not a hotel snob, it’s a Holiday Inn Express but brown water? A first time for everything I guess.
