My stay at holiday inn.
Check in was easy. Parking ok, breakfast was very good. Room was clean. They don’t service rooms every day. Didn’t like that. Was there for two days. If I’m paying bay prices I’d like my room cleaned daily. Trash taken out and towels.

Hotel that has seven better days. The staff friendly, the rooms were adequate but not what I expected. Card key readers were a pain in that they wouldn't open the doors. Thought it was just me but a lady in adjoining room commented she had the same problem. All in all I wouldn't stay there again.

The staff was hospitable and kind, the only issue we encountered was when one of our key cards would work and the other would stop working. The front desk worker was swift to resolve the issue. Aside from our key cards, the room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. My family and I would recommend this hotel.

Our phones volume was so low i coundnt hear the front desk. I was trying to ask for more blankets. The pull out bed was very lumpy and i could feel the springs underneath the mattress. Everything else was fine. Nothing special stands out.

Not amazing, but not bad.
Clean and comfortable, not exactly quiet. EV car charging is great and parking felt secure. Only issue was due to the hygiene products offered (they use Dove for shampoo, conditions, body soap and hand soap) the room was REALLY stong with the smell of the perfume in their products.

The extra touches were really welcoming: cookies, fruity water, personal note in room. The breakfast attendant was excellent and kept everything neat and very clean. The added touch of fresh cut-up fruit at breakfast was very nice. All these extra touches make this hotel stand out from other Holiday Inn Express hotels.
