Best Hotel Stay this year!

The place was immaculate. The staff was on top of everything. Front desk was great. Housekeeping was great. Breakfast was amazing. People were vacuuming halls and cleaning glass all the time. The weight room was well kept. The pool was clean. We have traveled a lot with our son’s baseball team and this is by far the best stay so far this year. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Holiday Inn express in Sanford was excellent. We’ve been traveling the whole week and have stayed in at least five hotels and this one tops them all! It’s exquisitely clean and well kept. It looks new. Showers are great! Beds are the comfiest. Breakfast has good options. We’ve been Hampton Inn fans since before Covid and my hubby and I both agree we’ve found a better option. Stayed there 4 days, 3 nights and drive to Orlando each day. Would love to stay again!
