Was a nice hotel for my family of 4 kids my room came with a bunk bed set of 4 beds and a king size bed so it worked out perfectly. My kids loved that it had a ps3 and a tv just for the kids to play on. The only downside was the hotels upkeep was not very good. The jet for the hot tub was not working.

Staff was very courteous and helped me with the reservation even after Expedia’s reservation was not in their system. If not for her help, I wouldn’t have had a room for the night. Not sure if Holiday Inn Express dropped the ball or if it was Expedia’s issue.
