This is what you expect from a nice Holiday Inn Express, but it is at the edge of downtown, the last block or so getting to the hotel the neighborhood goes downhill. I didn't feel unsafe at any point, but you have to scan your key card to get to the rooms and you will see graffiti in the area. It is walkable to downtown in my opinion, but i do know some people who would disagree.

The hotel/room and the breakfast were average. Nothing special. But that is what I expect from a Holiday Inn Express. What I did not expect - a broken shower. And a subpar breakfast (usually pretty decent at the Holiday Inn Express. Just not this one.
