I believe this is the cleanest Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed in. It was actually cleaner than a Marriott I stayed in a month ago. The room was very spacious and plenty of counter space to put our belongings. The staff was kind and helpful before I could even enter the doors. Got to check in early, which was a plus after a long drive. The room was comfortable, clean and cool.

Check-in was smooth and easy. Staff very polite and helpful. Room as clean and everything worked as expected. The property inside and outside was clean. The pool on the first day was a little on the cool side (good for me, not as much for my wife). The afternoon and next day when we got back in it had warmed up and felt very comfortable for both of us. Enjoyed our stay and will plan on a return visit the next time we are in town.
