What Guests Are Saying

“Very good staff. Great beds. Small TV but no problem for us. They improved the room lighting since our last stay a couple years ago. We were a little early and the first room we were given was close to the highway and noisy for one of us having a sleep problem. The lovely front desk gentleman said they would move us if we could wait for a room to be ready. No problem. They called 30 minutes later and the room was perfect. Quiet and with dark black out curtains. We had an excellent night’s sleep, nice breakfast, and will stay here again next time.” — 911didnotchangeme, 5 stars

“We spent 2 nights here on our way up the east coast. We were looking for rooms that were clean, in a good area, and had a free breakfast. Holiday inn express checked all those boxes! Checkin was quick and friendly, and the hotel was spotless. The rooms seemed a little small, but we didn’t spend much time there-no biggie. Breakfast had a lot of good options, and the hotel was close to lots of gas/grocery/food options! We’d highly recommend it if you’re in the area!” — katie126, 5 stars
