Parking app is very cumbersome and time-consuming. Breakfast was HORRIBLE. Very low quality items, flavorless, tiny child-size ultra-cheap plasticware and thimble-size cups. It was a pathetic joke. I used to stay at Holiday Inn Express for their great breakfasts... never again.

You need to change your carpet. It’s time to change. No carpet shampooing will fix the odor.

We left another hotel that was dirty to come here. What a treat! Friendly staff and CLEAN! Thank you! This hotel made our stay worthwhile. There was a restaurant across the way as soon as you exit the lobby. Breakfast was good.
