I’ve been a Hampton Inn loyalist for a long time, but I may need to reconsider my unjustified avoidance of Holiday Inn Expresses. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the shuttle was super convenient, the free breakfast exceeded my expectations, the bed was comfy, and the in-room desk area was great!
