Well it's a Holiday Inn Express and you get what you expect, that isn't negative just a statement of fact. It does what the chain does and does it satisfactorily. Currently there is some renovation ongoing, and that should make it feel better once complete. The room was nice and clean and the hotel is far enough from the interstate to be quiet. Breakfast was good and the staff fairly friendly.

The swimming pool is laughably small, more of a big bath than a pool. This obviously is a tick box type affair, "We must have a pool and here it is!" I don't need a big pool, I mainly splash around with the kids but this was ridiculous. It would be far better to not have a pool and not raise peoples expectations.

If not for the pool and renovations I would have given this 4/5.

We spent five nights here in February 2012. The room was spacious and clean (we had a room that was recently renovated - I don't know how the older rooms are). The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was nice, with a lot of choices. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did hear the train whistle that everyone here has mentioned, but it didn't wake me up at night, and while it woke my husband on some nights, he said he went right back to sleep. We liked the fact that we could walk from the hotel to a little shopping center across the road; the area is pedestrian-friendly, with sidewalks and traffic lights. We have relatives who live nearby, and I'll be happy to stay here again. I gave it five stars not because it's a deluxe hotel like a Ritz Carlton, but because it's a very nice hotel in its class.

When we went to check in, we were told our reservation had been canceled. (They had mistakenly canceled our room instead of that of a relative.) Our reservation was then reinstated and they upgraded us to a suite, but we had to wait for the room to be cleaned. That night after we were asleep, we received a call from the front desk asking for our last name and wanting to know why we were in that particular room. They should have had that information. The next day we returned to the room at 3 p.m., and the room had not been cleaned. We left for two hours and the room was still not cleaned when we returned. I called the front desk and someone was sent to clean the room, but she first had to clean the room next to ours. She told us she was the only one working. Probably will not plan to stay there again.

Our room (234) did not have an adequate heating unit. It ran briefly and turned off before it
Would heat the room. Also this property is near some train tracks and the train whistles came through our window which did not close completely. Very loud. I recommend wearing earplugs if you stay here.
