I’ve been a Hampton Inn loyalist for a long time, but I may need to reconsider my unjustified avoidance of Holiday Inn Expresses. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the shuttle was super convenient, the free breakfast exceeded my expectations, the bed was comfy, and the in-room desk area was great!

6/10 Good

There is a $25 fee for parking and the hotel is literally right on the highway. Other than that, it was fine for a quick overnight to get to the airport.
Carolyn, 1-night trip
Verified

6/10 Good

The hotel was centrally located to many great attractions. Although the freeway is right there, once you are in your room, you do not hear the noise from the room. The walls are thin though so there is a lot of noise from the hall and from people around you in other rooms. The breakfast is just ok, but convenient for something quick to eat. Staff is wonderful!
