Exceptional Service and a Wonderful Stay!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and provided everything we needed during our visit. I especially loved the bathroom body wash essentials the fragrance was amazing and the sleep sound machine was such a thoughtful touch.

I definitely want to recognize the staff. Lewis, who worked the evening shift, was exceptional! He was attentive, personable, and completely on point. He has such a great vibe and is truly a wonderful representative of the company. His personality and customer service made us feel genuinely welcomed.

Amanda was also wonderful and very communicative. She made sure everything was in place and that my stay went well, which I truly appreciated. That level of attentiveness makes a difference when you’re away from home.

Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and felt welcomed throughout our stay. Thank you, Lewis and Amanda, for the great hospitality. I would definitely stay here again!

Is it here or there? Price wars.
Pros:

People were friendly. Very good breakfast.

Cons:

The price between here and the counter didn't match up, and I ended up spending 30 to 40 more than anticipated.
