    This has been the best holiday inn express we've ever stayed in. Abdul was so welcoming and getting our room key was a quick and easy experience. As a member they gave us a phone charger and a spin of the prize wheel! Ended up getting 500 more points. The room was so clean and spacious too. We stayed in a king suite. Definitely recommend it and would be staying here again!

    Lucianna and Kayla were very helpful, hospitable and friendly upon arrival to check. Their welcoming spirit made my stay a pleasant and enjoyable one. The lobby, the hallways and rooms were very clean and smelled good. Cecilia keeps the dining area clean and she makes sure guests feel welcome to enjoy a warm breakfast. Thank you to the persons who cleaned my room too.

    We stayed in the area 5 days. The lobby's decorated beautifully for the holidays.That was a nice greeting.And so was the friendly staff. The hot breakfast was very good and it offered so many selections.Even the pickiest eater would find something they like. Cecilia was the kitchen staff, and she was very responsive to things we needed that were running low in the breakfast buffet. Housekeeping did an excellent job. The location was very central, and we were able to go in many directions.To take in the sites.

    Great experience overall. Mata provided 5-star friendly service from the moment I arrived—Welcoming, helpful, and professional. The building itself is well-upkept, and the common areas were clean and organized. My room was spotless, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which made the stay even better.
