Decent breakfast but disappointed they do not service potatoes. It used to be a staple at other Holiday Inn Express locations. Everything else was perfect. Clean room, helpful staff, good location.

I was very impressed with this hotel! The building and rooms all felt new and very clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast has a nice selection, we appreciated the vegetarian mini omlettes, fresh fruit , and yogurt ! We chose this hotel beacuse it included breakfast and gym and wifi for no extra costs. There a $10 fee for parking, but that is much more reasonable than other properties! Would definitely stay here again!

The staff at the front desk were very nice. The room was clean and good Wi-Fi. Breakfast area clean and the pancake machine was nice, you press a button and you have fresh pancakes in a minute. Fresh ground coffee available in lobby. There is a Starbucks, Jersey Mikes and liquor store a few steps from the front door of the hotel. We stayed at a hotel closer to hospital and moved after one day. It’s worth the extra drive and we will be staying here for future trips.

The shower had the best water pressure of any hotel that I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life. I will go back to this place just so I can use that shower. It’s about 10 times better than my shower pressure at home and the water is soft. Everything else was great too. The room was clean. It was big and comfortable. Excellent place to stay.
