The reason I'm giving this property a 1 star review is because it is not a Holiday Inn Express!! It is now a Comfort Inn. Google Maps had us going in circles looking for a Holiday Inn. Surprise, it doesn't exist. Not even the same family of hotels for people booking for points. There is also not a hot tub. The stay was fine for the price, the staff was nice, but this listing needs updated by someone to reflect what you are actually booking.

This is still marketed as Holiday Inn Express but it’s now Comfort Inn! The property is showing its age and wear and tear! At least they could keep the entrance doors clean!!! No way is this hotel worth $167 per nite!!!!!

This turned out fine, but Expedia had this hotel as a Holiday Inn Express, it is NOT. It is a Comfort Inn, so that was a bit confusing when we were looking for a Holiday Inn Express and found a Comfort Inn at the address. They had our reservation and it worked out fine.

They are in the process of rehabbing the hotel so I'm sure the part of the ceiling that was peeling in our room will be repaired. The staff was very nice and breakfast was good.
