Stop over with great amenities
The lady who checked us in (I believe her name was Monica) was very nice and considerate. She was an absolute joy. The room was great and had everything we needed. In our short stay, we were able to go to the gym, order dinner from the restaurant (everything was delicious), and relax in the hot tub for a bit.

Holiday inn... Not express
Overall the hotel was nice. A bit confusing if you are not aware the Holiday inn Express is next door. Entry could be improved with better signage or something. It's always easy once you know where you're going.
Staff or attentive with no complaints on that. The room amenities are sufficient. It does have a bar in the lobby. Overall it was an okay stopping point .

Breakfast Not Included
The room was what you would expect from Holiday Inn, clean and comfortable. However what we did not realize was that breakfast was not included. They wanted to charge $12.99 per person for what appeared to be a basic continental breakfast at other hotels. Needless to say, we passed on the breakfast.
