Parking app is very cumbersome and time-consuming. Breakfast was HORRIBLE. Very low quality items, flavorless, tiny child-size ultra-cheap plasticware and thimble-size cups. It was a pathetic joke. I used to stay at Holiday Inn Express for their great breakfasts... never again.

You need to change your carpet. It’s time to change. No carpet shampooing will fix the odor.
