My stay was good. Other than not knowing or seeing that there was an additional $100 security deposit to pay when I got to the hotel. I enjoy the fact that I can book without paying upfront. It was clean, staff were nice.

I was told the pool was open before I booked. I booked it and checked in the pool was not open! I paid too much too much to stay here and be lied to. I was promised a free night.

I was pleasantly surprised in the building, inside and out. The room was immaculate and big! The clerk at the check-in desk was so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast bar was very eye-pleasing and tasty. I would highly recommend this Holiday Inn Express.
