I really enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Portales! The room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was super cozy. The breakfast in the morning was great, and the customer service was top tier. Marcie was amazing and really made my stay even better. The amenities were excellent — I loved the gym and the pool too. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others and will absolutely be coming back!

Alexandra is the most helpful and wonderful person! She made our check in a breeze and was so kind and informative. She was extra helpful in making sure I could get the ihg points from our stay. Even when I was being grumpy from the long drive she was so friendly, if I could give her 10 stars I would. The hotel is clean and comfortable and quiet. With plenty of restaurants around to choose from. Looking forward to coming back!
