The room was cleaned. The staff were very friendly and professional, especially the staff at the front desk. Great choices at breakfast, except some of the bacon and sausages wasn’t cooked long enough. Over all, I recommend staying at this hotel!

We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn express. The room was spacious and the property overall was well managed. The breakfast menu was excellent. We utilized their gym and pool during our stay too. Loved that towels were available in both areas. Glad we stayed here overnight as a family.
