Clean, quiet, helpful staff, good variety of healthy breakfast options

Bathroom faucets were oddly awkward to use. Wall mounted soap dispenser over bathroom sink was too high

The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were spacious, and the location is great.

This is a very old, retrofitted property. It is not the quality I’m used to when staying in a Holiday Inn Express. It’s just kind of dingy all over. They use those ultra white LED bulbs throughout the property, which are so unnatural and really make everything look depressing. It’s so easy to buy the warm LED bulbs for the same price. The floors in the common areas of the hotel were dirty and needed to be mopped. The rooms were clean, but not much effort was put into the finishes, so they just looked messy. The staff were very friendly, but this property needs a major facelift before I would stay here again.

I love the location of the property

It seems modern however the entire property needs an overhaul but it cannot be beat for location being right off high street

The hotel is very clean and appealing with helpful staff.

The facility was much older than expected, and the online pictures are not accurate.

Room was great, bed was very comfortable, very nice and clean bathroom.

I was not a fan of the parking situation, and having to park off the property. I was also not aware until I arrived that I would have to pay $12.00 for parking on top of the $170. plus cost of my room for 1 night. : (

The location is amazing.

The hotel rooms are always dirty in some way. This time(my third trip) there was a red stain on the ground and pencil drawing on the closet. The lights in the bathroom always take a good 5-8 seconds to turn on after you flip the switch.
