I will continue to stay at Holiday Inn Express
Pros:

I always love the breakfast and the coffee. The room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

I was not acknowledged for a very long time at check in. There was a hand off in process but I should have been greeted and invited to sit while I waited. Also, $150 is much too high of a deposit.

Cons:

I was suppose to check in at 4pm. But I don't know the housekeeper did anything and I have to wait more than 1 hour to get my room.
