Wife likes Holiday Inn Express. I don’t.
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

Had to pay $10 per night just for park on the property. No security. Other guests kept using awake until 2 a.m. one night.

Pros:

Convenient

Cons:

We reserved a room with private bathroom. When we attempted to use the shower it was not working. We were then transferred to a room where the bathroom sink was outside. The manager on duty acted as though she did not care. We had to move our belongings one by one in the hallway. The dryer on the 4th floor was not working. I have stayed in this party location for the past 5 years. Never again

Cons:

The shower was less than to be desired. We asked not to be in a handicap accessible room but we were still put in one. The staff did offer to give us another room but who wants to ho through the hassle of packing Everything up and switching rooms when your only there for 2 days.
