I like that the hotel staff were kind, polite and very helpful in any request specially the girl who help us to check in and out (do not have her name) also I love the Breakfast Buffet. The only thing is that they need to update the coffee machine, hair blow dryer and bath soap containers.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Holiday Inn Express. Can't find any negatives about my experience here. Staff were friendly and accomidating. The facility was clean. Breakfast was great with lots of variety to choose from. I guess the only 1 little thing the hotel should consider is possibly expanding the gym size and add more equipment. Chairs would be nice to have in the gym when using the free weights. Overall, fantastic experience. Looking forward to possibly staying here again in the future.
