Very impressed with improvements.

Stayed at this Holiday Inn Express last year for baseball tournament, and it was in need of some repair and smelled in rooms and hallways. When I stayed this past weekend, I was pleasantly surprised as were several of the other families who stayed there during a baseball tournament. Everything was so much better--no smell, clean rooms, good breakfast and great customer service.

The hotel was clean and updated. The breakfast was also great! My biggest complaint is the pool was closed when we got there. We booked this hotel because of the pool. I wish the site would have been updated to inform us of this before we booked or there would have been some offer to make up for the inconvenience.
