I loved the soft, comfy, cozy bed. I’ve been on an extended road trip and have been sleeping on my pillows because the beds have been like concrete slabs. Thank YOU, Holiday Inn Express, for the pillow top mattress and (finally) some quality SLEEP! I definitely recommend this property and will stay there again if I return to the area.

I booked on a third party site and the hotel accidentally charged me too, but immediately made it right! The breakfast was great and the hotel was a perfect location! Right off the highway and close to lots of food options. It seemed pretty clean and well stocked. I have no complaints! Was a great one night stop along the way for our family spring break!
