OK hotel with growing pains
Pros:

This hotel recently changed from a Holiday Inn to a Holiday Inn express. You can definitely tell there are some growing pains. One elevator didn't work. The two coffee machines didn't work the first two mornings I was there. They had Keurig machines you could use in place of the coffee machines. The pancake machine didn't work the first couple of days either.

Overall it was a fine stay. But they continued construction and so many things not working dampened the spirit for sure. Fortunately we didn't spend a ton of time in the hotel. I would go back again if the price was right.
