The Holiday Inn Express by IHG was a fantastic experience. The room was clean, breakfast was phenomenal with a large variety, the pool and hot tub hit the spot for the kids, and the ambiance was breathtaking. Friendly staff, secure, and exceeded my expectations. There was plenty of entertainment close by, as well as an optimal variety of restaurants. 5 stars!
