We had a great stay at this Holiday INN Express! The facility was exceptionally clean, everyone was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious! Plenty of delicious options to choose from.

I like the quietness of the area. Easy to find, right off of the freeway. Over all staff were great. Checkin/check out were quick and easy. No hidden charges. The most important part was that the room was cleaned and dusted. The only minor complaint was not enough table/chair during breakfast. The hand soap dispenser was strangely located far from the sink. The soap, shampoo/condition were basic. We booked for 3 and there was only 1 Qtip/cotton balls/nail file package. Luckily we brought some.

Nice property. Room was nice. A little noisy from the freeway side but manageable. Breakfast was ok. If you're a coffee snob I'd recommend going to one of the amazing local coffee shops nearby. The hotel coffee was lukewarm and awful. Pool was lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We had a very bad experience at this Holiday Inn. We had nearly no hot water for either of the two mornings of our stay. When I brought this to the attention to the front desk they treated me as if I was a liar. Avoid if at all possible. The insult of no hot water was on top of double pricing for a busy graduation weekend

Christina in hospitality is the best! We left my son’s favorite stuffed animal and when I called a couple of days later-Christina was amazing to talk to. We can’t thank you enough for returning Dino to us and in the sweetest way possible-my son was over the moon! We are already planning to come back for another stay. We loved it there!
