I stayed at this Holiday Inn Express due to its location near Lexington Battle Green for Patriots Weekend. Check in was very easy. Room was very clean. There was plenty of shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the dispensers in the bathroom. Breakfast was good. And very conveniently located to I95. I plan on staying there next year for Patriots Weekend!
