There was no coffee! Breakfast opened up at 6:30 and the staff took until 07:00 to refill the coffee machine making 12 people wait for half an hour to get their morning joe. Holiday Inn Express advertises coffee 24/7. The machine should have been maintained first thing. UNSAT! Room heater had a burning smell to it. Needs to be cleaned.

The rooms are clean. No weird odors, no extra guests in my room. I especially enjoyed chatting with Benita and Andre at breakfast every morning. They seemed to go above the normal to make sure everything was perfect and everyone was comfortable.
