The hotel has just gone through a beautiful renovation. Our room was large! We were also quite close to the C Train to get downtown - because why would you drive if you can take a train?

We reallt enjoyed our stay here this past weekend. Spent 4 nights, front desk staff were great to deal with. Kids loved the pool with the waterslide and our room was amazing. Breakfast was good as well. The lady working the breakfast area was very friendly and quick to refill all the food/drink options. Thank you

It was going through renovations which was good but it was in the lobby area. The breakfast was good on the week days, but on the weekend people just sat for over an hour visiting friends. so there was no where to eat plus all the food was pretty well all gone.

Great for families, especially those who enjoy pool time. Easy quick breakfasts in the morning. At the time of writing this review, the hotel is under major renovations and so far the results look fabulous.

Little Disappointed

I always stay at Holiday Inn Express. They have consistent. Clean rooms, great service and good breakfast. This was my first subpar stay. Service wasn’t very friendly and breakfast was not as good. Renovations were going on in the lobby and affected the breakfast area making it uncomfortable.

The hotel front lobby was under construction. It was disturbing with a large banging sound and hard to carry on a conversation with the front desk check-in. The room was nice and comfortable.

The property is under major renovation which wasn’t a big deal but the vending machines in the lobby and on our floor were out of service to had no way to get bottled water without driving to a gas station. Also the parking lot is very small.
