I was unfortunately there for a funeral, a very sad time for my family. The staff at this location were so wonderful and accommodating. The night manager, Tamara, must have hugged me three times. She was so accommodating with the large number of family we had coming in for the services. Sam was also amazing- I needed a place for us all to gather and he arranged it so we could use the conference room in the hotel and didn’t charge us. When you’re grieving as we were, having one less thing to worry about is a blessing. These people made it easier on us. Thank you.

It was very comfortable and clean- no complaints!

First of all JODY opened the door for the weekend to happiness, peacefulness and made me feel most welcome and comfortable. I’ve been coming to the Holiday Express for a while and I have never felt more welcome as Ms Jody made me feel! I love her positive energy and love she sends out. Thank you! We will be coming back!! 💋

I understand that Housekeeping needs to do their work, however, housekeeping is very loud in dropping heavy items in the other rooms, hitting the walls next door to our room with the vacuum cleaner, lots of hard bumping and banging going on. Especially when people are still sleeping in. Nerve racking sounds!😳

The breakfast was very nice! The bagels were a bit stale. The beds were great...slept like a baby! The bathroom was spacious and fully equipped. The suite itself was excellent. Nice to have the amenities such as coffeemaker, little fridge, safe, etc.

The noise level was high. Apparently, there was a college baseball team staying at the hotel, with that accompanying noise. Also, there was a crying child nearby. And, the piece du resistance...a person in the room above us was constantly stomping back and forth across their floor/our ceiling, late at night. Thankfully, it finally stopped so we could sleep. The room could have used a few more charging outlets near the bed, and our refrigerator was so tiny we couldn't fit much of anything in it and still close the door. It also rocked back and forth...not a good installation job.

Very Nice Hotel, Good location, Great Coffee!

The Fee $65.00 is kind of steep for having a Small 4 lb.Teacup Yorkshire Terrier dog that couldn't do any damage if he wanted to.

Everything was nice, clean, and felt secure.

$65.00 fee for a 4lb. Yorkshire Terrier pet seems a bit steep.
