Great both times.
Convenient to on/off Freeway Hwy 99 (at Buck Owens Dr) . Also convenient to Costco & Costco Gas just the other side of freeway. Our handicap room was great, and asked for the same room one week later on our return trip back home. Thank you Holiday Inn Express.

Hookers on site & gentlemen's club just steps away
Got to have breakfast with a hooker 2 days in a row, so that was awesome. Same outfit and everything, right down to the cowboy boots! Maybe she came from the All Nude, All the Time establishment a few doors down. I didn't ask as she was busy filling 2 plates with food, then bringing it back to whomever she was servicing. As if that wasn't exciting enough, the noise from the highway helped keep us up nearly all night long! So, if you're looking for prostitutes and noise, this is the place for you.

This hotel is newly renovated and it’s truly amazing. It’s guests friendly from the lobby to the room and free breakfast buffet.
The desk clerks we’re all courteous professionals on the check in and check out. I give this hotel a five out of five stars all over.
