I like the modern style. The pool and hot tub are nice for hotels of a similar area and price. Nice to be near the Dunes.

This is a great stop for me in Valpo. I travel from Anderson IN to visit different areas up here for meetings. Valpo, Portage, Chesterton and Michigan City. Perfect stop. This Holiday Inn Express has great staff.

Overall good
Check in clerk was friendly but seemed more concerned about getting my email for rewards than just getting us checked in and then card reader declined my credit card - took the time to call the credit card and no issue with my card …. Seemed to be user error on check in clerk …. Just made for a long check in
Breakfast wasn’t up to standard from other holiday inns - just seemed like less choices and just not stocked well overall
