The area to eat breakfast was very warm. I was sweating trying to eat. There weren’t enough low top tables. I ate by the computer because I hate high top tables. They were all open and the low top tables were full. Maybe you should make all the tables in the eating area low tops.

Squeaky clean and the beds are perfection. Pillow top mattresses are so cozy and cloud like, but very supportive, as well. Finally, a good night's sleep in a Hotel! Thank you, Holiday Inn Express!
