The property has a great all inclusive breakfast and also love the fact that they have an outdoor pool since the neighboring hotel doesn't. I've stayed here in the past when visiting family near by and haven't been disappointed. Also I want to thank the two front desk employees Michelle and Tyrese, for understanding my situation and being super accommodating to my needs. You guys rock!!! See you all again in the near future.

The staff were pleasant but we had trouble getting help with a piece of medical equipment when we were ready to leave. The location is quiet and the breakfast was good. Our only real complaint was that the floor in our room wasn't that clean. It seemed a bit sandy underfoot from the get go.

This was a typical Holiday Inn Express - clean, comfy, friendly and convenient. It was a great stop on our road trip. Comfy and quiet room, very clean. Breakfast had sufficient choices and the food was hot. I used the workout room, too, and it was small, but nice. We have come to trust the quality and cleanliness of Holiday Inn Express, and almost always book them when on trips.

The Staff are excellent, from the front desk to the cooking staff for morning meals, to the ladies that clean the rooms, top notch!!! I have had to stay a little longer than expected, an extra week to be specific. And everyone that works here are very, very nice and understanding with all questions.

We were only in town overnight for a death in the family. The room was comfortable and the atmosphere at the hotel was quiet and friendly. The only problem we had was the air conditioning didn't work well but we survived the night.
