Our recent experience at the Holiday Inn Express on Wolf Road was nothing short of exceptional, particularly for our large group of 15 artists. From the moment they arrived, the management team, Mr Shekhar Varanasi, Sharada and team extended a warm welcome, showcasing a level of hospitality that truly sets this hotel apart.
The environment exudes cleanliness and comfort, making it a space for both relaxation and gathering. The staff's friendly demeanor and attentiveness further enhanced the experience, ensuring that every need of the artist was met with a smile.
Breakfast was a substantial spread. The facilities equally impressive, the pool and gym and laundry room are immaculately maintained, providing ample opportunities to unwind and stay active. Additionally, the spacious conference room, which appears new, served as an ideal venue for group meetings and dance rehearsals for the artists.
Convenience is paramount at this location, with seamless airport pick-up and drop-off services that simplify travel logistics. Its prime position offers easy access to major highways, as well as proximity to shopping mall and a range of dining options on Wolf rd.
With ample parking available, we found it easy to navigate our group’s needs. Overall, I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express on Wolf Road for any group seeking a blend of comfort, convenience, and outstanding service. This hotel truly embodies the essence of a comfortable welcoming stay, making it a wonderful choice for both leisure and business travelers alike and also for conferences and events !

We hosted 15 international dance artists at the hotel for four days, with our dance program on the last day of their stay between Nov 04 - Nov 08, 2025.
The artists got excellent service with comfortable beds and bathrooms. The hotel management and service were very cooperative with the guests and helped with transportation service where they could to nearby locations on their vans. Artists were able to take advantage of the good breakfast provided onsite and permitted us to also bring home cooked food for the artists.
Hotel management was extremely accessible with questions and supportive of their needs. Onsite laundry was also available helping the guests with their extended stay to be able to use the facilities. On site gym was also used by the artists for their exercises.
Perfect location near airport allowing for easy commute to local malls and adequate parking is also available. Lots of nearby food choices are available to the guests. Good working WIFi.
Highly recommended for stay.
