I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in many years. It was convenient to I-95 and we could use back roads to get to restaurants to avoid high traffic areas. Our third floor room was quiet (despite being by the elevator) and a nice view a distance away of the Cambridge Reservoir as the sun was setting. Negatives: requested an adjoining room when I called the hotel and to be on the upper floors, neither was initially granted, but the desk clerk was able to change us to two rooms on separate floors. The free breakfast was OK, but the seating area was very small. Each day we brought our breakfast up to our room to eat. Six floors with one elevator. Housekeepers were nice and accommodating.

You get a good solid stay as expected at Holiday Inn Express. Room and beds are comfortable --- not luxury mind you, but good enough to pass the night during travel and catch a good night's sleep. I really like the breakfast buffet --- basic but substantial and good quality. In fact I've stayed at castles which were only slightly better (for multiple times the price)
