HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!! The breakfast food was cold , Coffee terrible! Check in was not friendly or helpful There was NO Parking anywhere in the lot, finally after driving around for 10 minutes a spaced opened up, we took it. Only to find out the next morning, that it wasn’t a space that hotel patrons can use? It was in the same lot, it was dark and not well lit. Apparently it was not a parking space for hotel patrons? Our car got towed!!! It cost $ 200 to get our car back!! The hotel was no help at all and did not apologize or care!! We are very disgusted and will never stay at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS NH

Liked: Staff & service
The room was reasonably quiet after we unplugged the fridge and turned off the heater... blackout blinds worked well... bed was excellent. Bathroom and shower were not above average. Breakfast was fine for most people. We needed low-carb options (zero sugar yogurt). The eggs and coffee were good (for us). I would have turned off the TV noise in the breakfast area and used captions for those that needed the info. Staff were professional, helpful, perfect. The location is great for walking to restaurants in Durham. Parking was free and convenient.
