Although there's very little street noise to contend with here, several guests mention that the doors in the interior of the hotel tend to slam shut. This can lead to some disturbance as people come and go. A number of guests also thought the A/C units were quite noisy.

Several reviews suggest that the buffet breakfast is not quite up to the same standards as you might enjoy in other Holiday Inn Express properties. It's fair to say to say that many guests enjoyed it regardless, but others complain about rubbery pancakes, hard bagels, and bland eggs.

A number of guests state that the communal areas of the hotel could do with some attention. Reported issues include scuff marks on walls, worn carpets, and water stains on parts of the ceiling. Minor maintenance problems are also noted in the guest rooms.
