Pros: This Holiday Inn Express catered superbly to two drained, wilted festival-goers looking for a comfortable place to bed down, watch nighttime television, spend some time poolside and catch a light breakfast. On all these fronts, our stay surpassed our expectations! This hotel benefits from gracious, affable and knowledgeable personell at all hours (though the stars of this experience for us were those on duty in the breakfast room near the end of the window and at the reception desk in the late evening and again at around noon.) The staff (to say nothing of the immaculate rooms and stellar breakfast) made for a superb experience from top to bottom and from check-in to check-out.

Cons: At check-in the room rate was incorrect, when I told him it wasn't right he said the extra amount "was for amenities". I said $270 for amenities? The room we had selected via booking.com was correct in their system just not the price. He didn't appear to be making any effort to get the pricing corrected until I provided a printed copy of my confirmation with the room rate and taxes listed, thankfully I had printed it (just in case).

Cons: I wanted to pay cash and could not pay that way. It was very inconvenient. And it stated free hot breakfast for all who stay. I had 4 adults stay in the room and even stated that when booking and only gotten 2 free breakfast. That was the only reason I booked there and paid way more for room then I normally would have. I say that’s false advertisement.

8.3 Excellent
Pros: There was no breakfast at our " reduced " rate nor, as at other hotels, was a breakfast offered for an additional fee. I thought this a petty economy.
Cons: A bathtub was not provided. I'm guessing we might have been given another room with a bath had we complained, but we were tired and didn't want to go thru the hassle.
