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.
