Hotel is in state of a turn around from a chain. I am sure they are going to freshen it up as it was clean but a little worn on the edges. Bedding was fresh but the carpet was worn. Area seemed very safe.,

Great place to stay. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. It’s clean and well kept. They have breakfast, although I’ve never taken advantage of it the smell is wonderful and there are always several people eating.

Stay was okay, not bad, not great....
The stay was fine, but nothing special. I think this is the old Holiday Inn Express, rebranded. The hotel charged $25 for my pet. I'm used to paying $10-$15. I felt this was over-charging. My opinion.
