One of the best holiday inn express locations I’ve ever stayed at. The woman who serves breakfast is the absolute sweetest and we were crushed to find out she’s having health issues. The staff is top notch and very professional! Very friendly people. Extremely clean. Good little gym, but the pool was closed when we visited. The room is so cozy and comfortable. Well lit without being harsh. Really nice night time accent lights in the room. This room is better than some of the higher end properties I’ve stayed at. And free parking!

2nd time I have stayed here. All I can say is the African American and what I believe is an Indian woman (both young) are completely horrible. First time I showed up I found the Indian woman’s attitude horrible and house keeping would knock at my door at 9am and 10am checking if I left (check out is 11am) so they should have waited. Second trip (most recent 9/25 - 9/27. I was greeted by an older woman and she was kind. When I got to my room it was clean (so I thought) but no toilet paper so I had to go down and get some. First day I saw some ants by the AC I ignored it because I wasn’t bad. Second day around 3pm I noticed there were so many more ants crawling on the walls on the AC and on the bathroom sink and walls. I went to complain and was told its a common issue they’re having right now and they send a dude with a raid bottle to my room (nothing bad about the guy I spoke with him and he was a nice man) I requested a room change as I was no longer comfortable and without even checking they said no and that they were full (hotel was dead and with about 8 cars

This location is horrible! I was actually warned by another customer NOT to stay here while I was in line checking in. The young man at check in was sooo rude & said he had no idea how to check us in because we went through Expedia. He said he had no one else to help him. My check in took over 2 & a half hours. We were just sitting outside and then back in the lobby the whole time. There was a man in the parking lot trying to fight my friend & harassing us over a lighter. When we finally get the room, there is NO HOT water the WHOLE stay! And to top it off, there were ants in my room. It was the WORST hotel experience I’ve ever had! Never again!
