I didn't pay attention to the description and realize that this property is a motel. The property is updated, but not exactly what I expect of a Holiday Inn Express. The room was clean and the view was lovely. The breakfast was fresh and exactly what you expect from Holiday Inn Express. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Great location at a great price. The hotel is near everything we wanted to see. The price was great for our family. The staff were super nice and helpful. The hotel is undergoing construction & renovations, so there was some noise & construction equipment around. Overall it was a nice place for our family.

The beds were clean, but the rooms need to be updated. There are stains on the ceiling, cracks in the bathroom, the bathtub needs drano as the water clogs when you shower. The breakfast area was okay. Its unfortunate that they didn't have pancakes. Reading earlier reviews, it seems this has been 'out of order' for some time. Staff were friendly and helpful. It's a decent hotel in a good location but stars lost for state of rooms and breakfast area.
