I have stayed at this Holiday Inn Express a few times on business, most recently in May, 2009. Each time, it has been excellent! -- I'd say it's way above average for the Holiday Inn Express brand (no hit on the brand intended in that remark).
Perhaps because the hotel got its start as an AmeriSuites, the rooms are large, with a living area and sleeping area. There is a comfortable couch and nice chair in the living area, and there is also a nice desk with one of the most comfortable office chairs I've encountered in lots of travels. The high-speed internet is free, and it works. There is also a small "kitchen" with a sink, microwave, and fridge. I like that the TV features many, many channels.
The hotel is also sparkling clean, and the decor is nice. The lobby area is bright, and the breakfast is good. The meeting rooms are also high quality.
The fitness center, while not completely equipped, has a decent selection of cardio equipment and is nicer than the fitness centers at most Holiday Inn Express properties.
Best of all is the hotel's service. Each time, the service at the front desk has been excellent. My Priority Club status has been recognized, I have been welcomed personally as a return guest, and I always feel like the hotel appreciates my business.
The location of the hotel is also convenient to the airport (although it is not the closest hotel to the airport, it is only a few minutes down the highway). There are several restaurants nearby the hotel on Road 68, as well as a Wal-Mart, grocery store, gas station, etc. For a quick lunch, try the Pita Pit, in a strip center in front of the hotel.
This is one of my favorite hotels on the road. It offers a consistently excellent experience at a great value. Highly recommended!
