The woman at the front desk wasn't nice at all. She dis not explain things well and was very condescending when I asked about the charges. They also require a $150 hold for incidentals, which is ridiculous for a Holiday Inn express. This information, along with having to pay $15 to park at the hotel on top off overpaying for the nost basic room in the first place. (King bed, small bathroom with only shower. A tiny couch thing and a tv - mini fridge was broken, and outlets did not work) I dont recommend staying here. There are plenty of ither hotels closer to the airport, which are cheaper and dont have $150 incidental charge orna fee to park on their property, which has barely any parking. We had to wedge ourselves in to a "bike only" spot at the back, next to a fence where there was barely and room to get in and out of the car or get our luggage in and out. There were a ton of people complaining about this fact, trying to park at the same time we were.

Overall good stay, near the main dining area, walkable to many restaurants nearby. Spacious room and good internet. Drawback was under par breakfast and very limited sitting for breakfast. Parking also limited too. Some difficulty to find the entrance to the hotel.

It was a little loud near the staff laundry. But good enough. And we liked the lighting, breakfast, comfy beds, and walkable to everything! The room was great but the floor needed a little more DYSON
