Clean hotel. Friendly staff. They are renovating the lobby and breakfast area but we’re still able to serve a decent breakfast in two rooms that they converted to serve breakfast. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Place was experiencing significant renovation. Breakfast was served I a converted room with limited seating. We were contacted the day before departure and told of the renovations that were ongoing. Would have preferred to know before the booking or given an option to cancel. Overall, the room was clean and bed comfortable.

The room was clean and comfortable. Check in desk was in a hallway next to the elevator due to office remodeling. The breakfast was what they called a”grab and go” also due to the remodeling. The breakfast was less than what I would have expected from Holiday Inn Express. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
