No pool open
The hotel itself was great, but they never informed us the pool was closed prior to our stay. I had very upset children that had swim suits packed. So we left after 2 hours and went to another hotel with an open pool. We traveled 2 hours for the hotel and were disappointed. We ahould have been notified.

This Holiday Inn Express was a solid property. Clean, relatively comfortable, convenient. The room was a little difficult to navigate in my wheelchair and the bed was too high for me to sleep in it. I slept on the couch. Above average stay.
