Not worth the money !!!
Pros:

Elevator broke, road tore up, no coffee maker in room. I have heard Holiday Inn Express is removing all coffee machines. HORRIBLE idea. Best Western Plus looks to be still providing better service.

Cons:

No coffee maker and promise of 24 hour lobby coffee was and is not true. Crappy decision.
