3rd stay here, going downhill
This was the 3rd year in a row we stayed here. We have enjoyed it the past couple years and stop here because we like Logans steakhouse next door. We can just tell from the 1st year we came here until now its going downhill. Logans too. Not as clean as it used to be but keeps getting more expensive. Unfortunately we made the decision we won’t be staying here again next year and will probably pick a different town to stop in

I loved the soft, comfy, cozy bed. I’ve been on an extended road trip and have been sleeping on my pillows because the beds have been like concrete slabs. Thank YOU, Holiday Inn Express, for the pillow top mattress and (finally) some quality SLEEP!
I definitely recommend this property and will stay there again if I return to the area.
