Negative Reviews
negative:
Not the best choice for short layovers
For many guests, this hotel was close enough to the airport to consider a good option for overnight stays between flights. However, guests who had a short layover comment that the traffic between the airport and the hotel eats into the available time.
negative:
No on-site restaurant
Although very few Holiday Inn Express hotels have a restaurant, the lack of an on-site eatery does disappoint guests who didn't fancy eating out. These guests resorted to ordering take out to eat in their rooms. To be fair, those guests who dined out were pleased with the selection of nearby restaurants.
negative:
Some highway noise
Guests occasionally mention that they could hear the sound of traffic passing along the highway. This problem is worse in the rooms on the highway side, so it would likely pay for light sleepers to request one on the opposite side.
