I had a mix of experiences at the Holiday Inn Express. The room I stayed in was large and comfortable, equipped with a microwave and a mini refrigerator, but the noise disturbance, like a loud plane landing, was not ideal. The service from the staff was pleasant and welcoming, from greeting me at check-in to the upkeep of the pool area. The location was convenient, near the freeway, restaurants, and attractions like Ferris State for a hockey tournament, yet the spa-hot tub left something to be desired with its temperature and lack of functioning bubbles. The dining experience had its highs with commendable soup but also lows, like the lukewarm eggs and hash browns for breakfast. The facilities were basic but fair. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the amenities and services offered.
