This property is under renovation but I doubt we will stay there again. The light by the bed was broken. The breakfast has really gone downhill. You can just tell they are cutting corners. The hot tub had no working jets.

Was a nice hotel for my family of 4 kids my room came with a bunk bed set of 4 beds and a king size bed so it worked out perfectly. My kids loved that it had a ps3 and a tv just for the kids to play on. The only downside was the hotels upkeep was not very good. The jet for the hot tub was not working.

Staff was very courteous and helped me with the reservation even after Expedia’s reservation was not in their system. If not for her help, I wouldn’t have had a room for the night. Not sure if Holiday Inn Express dropped the ball or if it was Expedia’s issue.

Property definitely needs some maintenance and modernization. Restroom ceiling look terrible from previous leaks, wallpaper was hanging above shower and furniture was and looked very old. Some door card readers didn't work as well...
