Check was great. They already had us checked in, keys made, and the young lady working the front desk was very friendly, accommodating, and carried on a conversation as though she knew us and welcoming us to the hotel. The hotel shows very well and you can see there GM and ownership take pride in preparing for their guest. We travel often for work and pleasure and have stayed at many different Brands, but IHG-Holiday Inn Express is better than our experiences at Hilton products. Looking forward to seeing how the breakfast is presented in the morning.
