⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holiday Inn Express – Excellent Stay!
My stay at the Holiday Inn Express was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The hotel was very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The housekeeping team deserves a special mention — they do an amazing job keeping the rooms spotless and comfortable.
The complimentary breakfast was also very good, with plenty of options to start the day right. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay!

I was told the pool was closed for maintenance, but the hot tub was still available while checking in. I was looking foward to relaxing in the hottub after dinner, but as soon as we got in, the receptionist came in and said the pool area was closed because it was after 10pm. We chose this hotel because of the amenities pool, hottub and not having access to said amenities (no matter what time) seems like false advertisement. Nobody informed us while booking the pool was closed or that they couldn't be accessed after a certain time. The pool area should be able to be accessible all hours, were all adults here and should be treated as such. I dont appreciate being treated like a child or not having access to something I paid for.. 🙄
