Quick check in, Clean rooms, great breakfast, good staff, enough parking space, easy access to freeway. The only surprise was that on check out day the door card stopped working exactly at 11:00 am. We had started putting our luggage’s in our car, went back to our room to get the rest of our stuff and the key did key card did not work… my son was in the room, so no problem… but I never had such an experience… I asked the desk and she said, yes, the check out is 11 and the key card is inactive… I did not like it…

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!

When I checked in the first black color staff gave me terrible hostility without reason, first she selected a room adhere to elevator, second she deliberately did not activate the access card and let me go up stair to try for over 5 minute. When I came back to her, she pointed to another staff with cold face. Fortunately another staff she is super friendly like an angel, she helped to arrange another room, activated the access card, settled down everything with sweet smile.
