No complaints here! Directions from MCO were spot-on [hotel is ~40 min. N]. Surrounding area was busy with lots of restaurants nearby. Front desk staff were so nice upon check- in, offering me 2 much-appreciated bottles of water. Bed was quite comfy, all aspects of the bathroom were fully functional (other than no fan), with an extra-wide shower. Nice fridge, ice machine on every floor, lots of lighting options. Breakfast was better than expected & coffee available all day long. No workers hovering over diners which I also appreciated. One review noted that the pool was right next to/below a busy freeway; I didn't get to use it but yes, I did take note that that's indeed the case. I also noted that the hotel itself was nicely insulated from the noise. Also loved the A/C control. Def. recommend if you're in the area!

Great stay

I love staying at Holiday Inn Express. The service and friendliness is always good. The bed was comfortable and very clean, everything was clean. I appreciated the ottoman so I could elevate my legs. I enjoyed the buffet because it was not only fruit and pastries. It includes a full breakfast. My only complaint is that the eggs were tasteless and really needed spices added. Other than that, it was great and coffee was always available.

The staff was extremely friendly. The room was pretty decent but overall cleanliness was not exactly the best. I think it was just "surface" cleaned and not attention to little details.
