Very clean property! They had a nice selection for breakfast. The only thing to mention is a very small and limited parking lot. Overall, wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lady at the desk was so professional and so friendly. We loved being able to walk to German village. We had a lovely dinner. The pool is very nice. It’s right on high Street, which is a busy street, but that’s just fine. We appreciated the very good ground coffee machine in the lobby.

DECLINING: We stay almost exclusively at Holiday Inn Express locations, because they are almost new and in good areas. This is the first we've noticed to be in decline -- flooring, plaster, temperature, TV reception, staffing....

The room was very clean and comfortable. A lot of variety in the breakfast buffet.The staff at the front desk was very accommodating from fixing a glitch in the bill to bringing me a hair dryer in minutes after I called to let them know our room's hairdryer was missing. Overall, a very pleasant stay
