I have stayed here a few times. I also stay at other hotels in other cities and this location is, by far, the best!! The staff is always pleasant, the condition and cleanliness of all the spaces is always 5 stars and even the food is better than other Holiday Inn Express locations. I highly recommend this location.

The hotel was nice enough, and I felt safe in the area. However, I had a terrible night of sleep. The mattress was hard and squeaky, the bed had only a sheet and a thin blanket on it with no extra blankets in the closet, the lights from the street illuminated the window and room all night, and there was a screaming baby across the hall all night. I did not enjoy my stay. If you need a place to crash and don’t care about sleep quality, this is fine. Otherwise, see if there’s another option.
