Stayed here a few years ago and had a less than stellar stay. Today I decided to give it another try. And I am so thankful I did. I booked the King suite with the jetted tub for really affordable rate. It helped that I booked in the middle of winter. I got to see a room that was like no. Everything was neat, clean, furniture was like new. The staff was absolutely wonderful. The young lady in the afternoon who greeted me was very sweet. And when we arrive back late this evening, the night auditor was the sweetest person… When I could not figure out how to work the tub she came up to even show me. You’ve done wonderful things with this hotel and every time I stay in town I will stay here. My only feedback would be please put safes in the room. When people are traveling, they do not want to be leave their valuables out nor do they want to have to carry them to a desk and go through a process to store them there. Other than that, an absolutely perfect stay.

The room was clean and adequate. The breakfast was acceptable and free. I got absolutely raced on the price. I'm very loyal to Holiday Inn Express, and I'm a member of their loyalty program, but that didn't make any difference. If I hadn't been pressed for time, I would have found a better deal at a competitor
