The place was very clean. The breakfast that was included was surprising. I did not expect the variety that was offered for a smaller location.

The breakfast buffet was decent and most of the staff seemed cordial May or may not stay there again when in Southern Illinois ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashon 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was great , friendly, and comfortable ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef9491af-4643-43a8-8cf3-da8b4f91687d-1759760030407.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rashon Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharon 13 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Ok facility.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night in Michigan city Indiana and the breakfast bar was phenomenal. Hot foods, hot oatmeal, pancakes… This hotel had a dirty microwave… You had to microwave instant oatmeal… And just cold foods like yogurt and cereal. Sad ##### John Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ---
