Overnight stay on a long drive
Looking for a place to spend a night on a long trip. The room was comfortabke but it was a bit frustrating that rhe bedside USB ports did not work. The morning front deat person was very friendly but when i checked in the night before the person working seemed to be having an off night. Breakfast was a good variety

Mediocre hotel
I’ve been in my share of Holiday Inn Express’, but this one in on the bottom of my list.
Very indifferent staff (by arrival and check-out).
I booked a king and got 2 queens.. further, walls are thin, you can hear conversations in the room next door.
Neighbourhood is sketchy.
Room was clean, i have to say.

Great breakfast!
Parking was difficult because of event across the street. I believe cars were parking there that did not stay at hotel. Back door did not work with room card. Staff very friendly! Check in was ok. People working desk were to busy talking to each other. Breakfast outstanding!

3 people in a room and we got 2 towels. The first room they gave us was already occupied which they upgraded us to a king with a rollabed but didn’t give any blankets. The USB’s only half of them worked. The entire place smelled of pot
