I travel for work and stay in Holiday Inn Express locations all over the country. I’ve been stationed at this one since early September, and it has, by far, been the best Holiday Inn I’ve stayed in over the past four years — and it’s not even close.
The staff here are the kindest I’ve ever encountered, not just at a Holiday Inn Express, but at any hotel I’ve stayed in. They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely friendly. My partner’s birthday was last month, and he even received a handwritten note under our door wishing him a happy birthday. In a world where you’re lucky if people even acknowledge you, that small act meant so much.
Every member of this team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, and that’s such a rare thing these days. I truly loved my stay here, and I know they’re going to miss making me a new key four times a day! I’ll definitely remember my time here — I wish more places were like this one. The world would be a better place if they were.

I stay here frequently for business. The rooms are always clean, the free breakfast choices are few but what is offered is always good. It's enough to get a good start to the day!
Staff is helpful and friendly.
The view of the mountains can be pretty depending on which room you are in.

Likely the cleanest hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time (and I’m super picky about that). Shower pressure was amazing!! Bathrooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable and the AC worked great. The breakfast was actually a hearty breakfast with hot food and lots of drink options. Everyone there was super friendly as well! Visiting family in the area we will absolutely return again!!

The most accommodating hotel we have ever stayed at, as a travel race team who requires large parking lots and extended hours! Can not put into words how accommodating the staff has been! Will drive out of the way if needed, to use the hotel again!
