The staff was excellent from the registration crew, to housekeeping, to the breakfast team.Very willing to be helpful and serve. The breakfast was good. The poor rating is because the building is nothing as it appears in the website photos. The building is warn out and needs a face lift. Walking into the lobby with old beat up furniture is a bad first impression.The property is not in a rural setting as it appears in the photos. Its cramed into the middle of commercial buildings.

Just about everything was excellent about this Holiday Inn Express. The only problem that we had was with our door key cards had issues unlocking the door. We had one card replaced and the staff cleaned the door lock, but even they had problems getting the lock to read the card and unlock the door. Everything else was great, especially the breakfast and swimming pool.
