Friendly staff, conveniently located right off the highway. I would try to get a room on the front side of the hotel (even room numbers) to minimize highway traffic noise. Great breakfast and well maintained facilities.

This hotel is directly next to the interstate If you are light sleeper, choose a different hotel. As always, breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express was stellar. Staff was friendly.
