Great staff, service and food.

Great service, staff and food! The exterior of the building and the lobby seemed newer and refreshed but the room we were in seemed a little worn and slightly dated decor. Regardless, our stay was comfortable and pleasant.

Friendly staff

This was our first time at this location. This hotel met the standards I was expecting for a Holiday Inn Express. The check in gal was nice and friendly. It was easy to check in. When we left it was a different gal, but also nice and friendly. Location was 5 minutes from where we needed to be that evening.
