Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms weren't that clean with dust on the chair by the desk, hair on the sheets, and a dirty bathroom. However, the location was convenient being close to food and stores. The AC unit was a bit noisy after the first night.
My stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites was fantastic. The rooms were awesome, especially with the convenient microwave and fridge. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The location was perfect for our trip, breaking up a long journey to Yosemite, and the dining options were delicious, catering to everyone's tastes.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious with a fresh smell, but not soundproofed well, allowing noises from the road and neighboring rooms to be heard. The service was excellent, with very friendly and accommodating staff who provided a fluffy comforter for added comfort. The location was good for visiting Yosemite National Park, although some noise from the apartment complex across the street was bothersome. The dining options were a bit limited but satisfactory for a quick meal before heading to the park.
