DECLINING: We stay almost exclusively at Holiday Inn Express locations, because they are almost new and in good areas. This is the first we've noticed to be in decline -- flooring, plaster, temperature, TV reception, staffing....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lady at the desk was so professional and so friendly. We loved being able to walk to German village. We had a lovely dinner. The pool is very nice. It’s right on high Street, which is a busy street, but that’s just fine. We appreciated the very good ground coffee machine in the lobby.

Check in was friendly and quick but when we got to the room there was someone already occupying it and it was a mess. So very concerning that the front desk gave us keys to a room that someone else was in. Although they were apologetic, if I was the occupant of the room or if I was by myself I would have been very uncomfortable knowing someone was able to walk into my room
