Liked: Cleanliness
A newer property with clean rooms, free parking and good breakfast. The front desk allowed us to check in early since a room was available. Not so good-the hot shower would last about 5 minutes and then go cold and the flow would trickle every morning around 9:00 am. We stayed for 3 nites and this happened every morning.

One of the best holiday inn express locations I’ve ever stayed at. The woman who serves breakfast is the absolute sweetest and we were crushed to find out she’s having health issues. The staff is top notch and very professional! Very friendly people. Extremely clean. Good little gym, but the pool was closed when we visited. The room is so cozy and comfortable. Well lit without being harsh. Really nice night time accent lights in the room. This room is better than some of the higher end properties I’ve stayed at. And free parking!

Everything was wonderful. Friendly staff. Easy elevators. Great breakfast. I worked in my room while my daughter was at an all day summer camp, and it was so quiet. I had one last meeting before checking out and they were kind to let me stay an hour past checkout. Thanks IHG!
