Overall: the front desk service was very very poor, the rooms were tolerable but nothing special, the pool was tiny, but the lobby was great. Not what I expected from a Holiday Inn Express, but it was habitable. The worst part: I'd probably recommend this place if it wasn't for the awful front desk girl. She put a sour taste in our mouths from check-in to check-out.

Pros:
-Very nice lobby
-Very polite housekeeping staff
-Extremely dog friendly, we saw at least a dozen dogs while we were there.
-Clean rooms for the most part
-Nice outdoor pool area
-Decent selection of sundries in the gift shop
-Huge king bed with nice comforter
-Both firm & soft pillows on the bed

Cons:
-The girl at the front desk seemed to be in a trance. She stared right past us as we walked into the lobby and didnt respond when I asked to check in. All of a sudden she seemed to be jolted back to reality enough to check us in. The process to way too long and she was extremely unpersonable. As a front desk agent myself, I was baffled.
-We came out later around 7:00PM to purchase sundries and the girl was sitting on the couch in the lobby watching TV, with no one at the desk.
-Our rollaway bed had a huge blood stain at the head when it was delivered. When we called to ask for a new one, we got yet another unenthusiastic response from the front desk saying "we'll see if we can find a different one" void of any apology.
-Called asking if I could get an 8am wakeup call and got an abrupt "yes" and hung up on.
-Tiny pool that was only outdoors only (no indoor pool at all)
-No in-room movies, to my knowledge
-Beds, although large, were not very comfortable

Everyone from the front dest to the cleaning crew were great at their jobs and went out of their way to make our stay a very pleasant one.

I have been going to this hotel for years now, and I will continue to stay there. It meets all of the basic needs. Cleanliness, security, location. It is safe to take an evening walk. There is an awsome pizza place next door. A large mall 1 mile away. Breakfast is your typical stuff, nothing fancy. The only negative for me personally was that the heater is the type that cycles on and off. I like the type that stay on all the time to drown out noise. Until they change for the worse, I have no problem staying there.

Stayed there with 3 friends while attending a scrapbooking expo. We couldn't get into the resort where the expo was being held. This was so much better than the fancy resort we couldn't believe it! Clean rooms, not fancy, but more than the basics. Fantastic free breakfast that included bacon and eggs one morning and sausage, biscuits and gravy the next. Beds were comfortable and the bedspread was a comforter covered with another sheet with a second blanket layed across the bed. Not the cheesy, slippery bedspreads you usually find that are gross to touch. We will definately stay here next time. Don't know how you could go wrong. And, by the way, it was back off the main road so it was very quiet.
