Kind of a joke, the beds were fulls when they were advertised as queens. The hot tub was set at 95°, which doesnt qualify as a hot tub and should not be advertised as such. The staff claimed they didnt have the ability to adjust it. In fact the staffs ability to assist in any way was very underwhelming. On our second night there, we lost half of the tv channels and were told by the staff there was nothing they could do about it. The breakfast was by far the only acceptable amenity at this hotel. All in all, this was a highly overpriced joke of a hotel. 3/10.. will not be staying here again.

Comfortable and clean
Comfortable beds, clean bathroom, nice tub shower. Hotel is about a block from busy train tracks, we could hear the train horns occasionally throughout the night. We are pretty sound sleepers, so it didn’t bother us much. Breakfast was equal to other Holiday Inn Express, not bad and not great.
