Clean, quiet, and staffing professional. Breakfast is the norm. Notice all Holiday Inn express has pancake vs. waffle maker. Out 3 expresses, they were not used. Recommend bringing the waffle maker back. Allowed to check in early (nice when driving forever) and offed fresh chocolate chip cookies! Fantastic stay!

The hotel is in a great location, on the main drag and with the reiver as a back drop. The main street area is a short walk (2-3 blocks), so we walked everywhere all weekend. The rooms were great, just what you would expect from a Holiday Inn. The parking was tight as the hotel is squeezed onto a small property lot, but they do have a parking deck around back. Our only complaint was the check-in process because none of my info transferred from Expedia, so we basically had to start from scratch. It was a small thing, but kind of frustrating after the long drive and the late 4 pm check in. Otherwise, no issues, the staff were great, and it was a really good breakfast.

Everything was good except the beds were too firm. Felt like I was sleeping on the floor. Other than that, it was a good stay.
