Breakfast was underwhelming. The turkey sausage links looked like they've had a hard life, dried out and spikey. The staff were nice and friendly enough. Good location with restaurants next door. Clean with nice amenities like a pool and spa. First times at Holiday Inn Expresses and will seek them out since they do seem better than other options in the mid range.
