We have stayed at this Holiday Inn Express several times on our way to and home from Florida. It is so clean, close to many restaurants and shops, Just a few minutes off the interstate. Everyone that works here has always been so nice and the breakfast is always quite good as well, especially the cinnamon rolls.

We stay at alot of hotels. The only complaint I have here are the pillows. But pillows are always a complaint from me. This is the first hotel in a long time that the temperature was consistent the whole night, which made for a comfortable night's sleep. The room was clean and the water pressure in the shower was wonderful. The staff were friendly. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. For those of you that need it...they have charging stations for your electric cars.

Nice hotel with good breakfast. Had a couple lady bug friends in my room, which was weird.... But the front counter assured me they are good luck. Ha! Room was modern, clean, and staff were friendly. Would stay again.

Check in staff was so kind & helpful. Cute decor in lobby & room. Room was clean & smelled fresh. Beds were very comfortable. Each bed had 4 pillows. Loved the Dove products in the bathroom. Didn't use the pool but pool area was clean. So many options for breakfast & everything we ate was fresh & delicious. Super fast check out. Highly recommend.

Stopped here for the night with my family as they had a room that could accommodate a family of 6. The room was clean and well kept. The only complaint I have is that they only provide 3 towels even after requesting more. We also had to ask for the bedding for the pull out couch. The free breakfast was pleasant with options for everyone. Coffee was typically empty, but I think that was due to the volume of coffee drinkers.
