As with most of my Holiday Inn Express experiences, the facility was neat, quite clean and the staff were very helpful. There's just not much to add. The Inn is centrally located, but abuts local merchant Jeff Gordon's Chevrolet dealer; Which means you better like LIGHTS! Your choice of window landscapes are either Chevy's or the rear of the local... More

On my most recent visit, I was looking for a tray to take my breakfast back upstairs to my room. There were no trays available so the kitchen hostess went... More

Excellent representative of the chain. This hotel is located close to eveything from shopping to historical locations to the beach! Beds are very comfortable and we had our best night's sleep on our way through to Florida. Large breakfast dining room overlooks the outdoor pool. Food was a great start to the day. There is ample free parking. Our room... More

This has to be one of the crown jewels in the Holiday Inn system. The facility and staff are first-rate. You will not be disappointed, whether your stay is for business or pleasure.

The rooms were much larger than I expected. We had been staying at the Hampton hotels prior to this stay and we found the breakfast a welcome change. It's typical Holiday Inn breakfast, but it hit the spot. The staff was very helpful and courteous. Oh, the beds were pretty hard. More
