We (family of 4) stayed here on our way down to FL for a night. The rooms were fine and the pool was open late so the kids could burn off some energy. Everyone at the front desk was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was a little chaotic because it was so busy, but staff did great keeping the food coming out quickly. I will say the a/c is a liar and does not go as low as you set it to, but we travel with a fan so we were okay.

Property was great. First night we used the pool and had great service. Second night power went out in the whole town due to weather and we didn’t have power at the hotel. Had to use the stairs with emergency lights at 10:00 pm to the 3rd floor with a handicap man. By the time we got in bed in the dark the alarms started going off and the fire department showed up and was escorting people out of the building.

I loved the soft, comfy, cozy bed. I’ve been on an extended road trip and have been sleeping on my pillows because the beds have been like concrete slabs. Thank YOU, Holiday Inn Express, for the pillow top mattress and (finally) some quality SLEEP! I definitely recommend this property and will stay there again if I return to the area.

I booked on a third party site and the hotel accidentally charged me too, but immediately made it right! The breakfast was great and the hotel was a perfect location! Right off the highway and close to lots of food options. It seemed pretty clean and well stocked. I have no complaints! Was a great one night stop along the way for our family spring break!
