I was pleasantly surprised in the building, inside and out. The room was immaculate and big! The clerk at the check-in desk was so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast bar was very eye-pleasing and tasty. I would highly recommend this Holiday Inn Express.

This Holiday Inn Express was a solid property. Clean, relatively comfortable, convenient. The room was a little difficult to navigate in my wheelchair and the bed was too high for me to sleep in it. I slept on the couch. Above average stay.
