10/10 Exceptional

Comfy bed and friendly staff.

The nicest staff you would ever meet. From the front desk staff to the breakfast staff to the housekeepers, they were always extremely helpful and friendly. The king bed we slept in was so comfortable that we didn't want to get up. Highly recommend this hotel.

Jenelle, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs and poor management

This is the single worst holiday inn express I have ever encountered. The management are liars, they gaslight you, bed bugs and they charge your card without authorization. DO NOT STAY HERE if you have other options.

10/10 Exceptional

Great property! We checked in at 1am and were beyond grateful that they had the heater blaring in our room on arrival. Super clean, rooms were big, breakfast was perfect!
Ashlee, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Holiday Inn is horrible

Worst stay yet. Holiday Inn is horrible. Told there was ample parking. Got there and no spots at all. Had to pay $30 to park across the street. Checked in and room was beside the elevator. All night all you could hear was the elevator or the street noise , sirens and construction. If that didnt wake you up the heater / air conditioner unit was so loud it woke you up every time it came on. Never stay with Holiday Inn again

Chunyan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great bang for your buck!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were good. Rooms were clean. Hotel a bit outdated, but was great for the price. We got locked out of our room three times as the key wasn’t working. Location was also great. A little detail we loved was that the hand soap was liquid!
