Always comfortable and convenient to stay at Holiday Inn Express. This particular location has dated televisions. I could not connect to my fire stick I always carry with me to all by business trips. Other than that, I do love Holiday Inn Express.

Good option for a night or two.

Overall the hotel was great. We stayed for one night, 2 adults, 2 kids. The room was clean, but a little bit small so we felt cramped. Service was good. Pool was much smaller than anticipated and the pool towels were small enough for a toddler. Breakfast was decent. There are good options to eat within walking distance and a Target as well.

The staff were all very very friendly and helpful! The housekeepers did an amazing job keeping the facilities clean and organized. Only complaint is the rude parents that allowed their kids to run around all over the place at all hours of the night. But other than that the staff and facility was very nice and had plenty of options for dinner and lunch within walking distance
