The staff was great, and our room was clean. The only minute area that was inconvenient was that breakfast wasn't until 7am. We choose Holiday Inn Expresses for what they offer and are very pleased. For us we are chasing sporting activities that our kids are involved in and usually it's up at 6am and out the door by 7am. With a 7am breakfast we had to purchase breakfast offsite. It's an added cost that we generally don't have when choosing a Holiday Inn Express.
