The hotel was very clean and the staff was very pleasant and friendly. There was a highway behind the hotel, but it didn’t seem noisey. It was very comfortable and convenient. Would definitely stay at this Holiday Inn Express again.

Hotel great - Neighborhood + Loiterers BAD.

You know you're in a bad area when the convenience store locks the beer cooler. Scary loiterers all over the area, not just the Wawa's. I drove 2 miles to buy a beer than literally walk to the Wawa's. Scary people always just hanging out there. Didn't go there for anything except gas. Scary neighborhood and I don't think it's anywhere near MLK Jr Blvd.

Great overall. This may be nitpicking, but the only thing that was an annoyance was that my room was the first one next to the side entrance, and the door would slam shut frequently and very loudly.
