The New Holiday Inn Express
I’ve been on the road for the last two weeks on behalf of a client. Since she is a member of the Priority Club, I stayed at a couple of Holiday Inn Express hotels along the way.
I’m very impressed with this chain. I don’t remember Holiday Inns being this nice.
It seems like every hotel (at least all the random ones in the numerous states through which I traveled) has been completely redone.
The rooms are clean and well designed. The front desk personnel were all very nice. And the free breakfast offerings (bagels and pastries, cereal, yogurt, hot cinnamon rolls, eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy) are certainly added values.
There is usually a pool and a workout room. Always, there’s free wifi. I also appreciated the free coffee and tea in the rooms—along with the mini-fridge. No microwave though. I found that strange.
Anyways—Good job, Holiday Inn Express people. I think you’ve made some good choices here.
At $99 a night (rate I received regularly), these hotels are higher than their competitors next door, but if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and reassuring place to sleep, they are a good bargain.
