Great Hotel
Yes, I recommend this property.
This Holiday Inn Express is just about the best HI Express I've ever stayed in. Their attention to detail was a welcome feeling in the middle of 12 straight days in a different hotel each night. The desk staff, the room, the breakfast, and the overall hotel was outstanding.

Good for a stay
Yes, I recommend this property.
Everything about this hotel was great. The morning desk clerk was especially helpful with a FAX. The housekeeping staff is also great. Holiday Inns have the single best shower head in the market.
Only item that I didn't like was that the TV could not be pulled away from the wall and could not be seen from the desk. Night clerk told me they didn't want to risk the TV falling on a guest. I told him to lie to his friends and I'd lie to mine but let's don't lie to each other. The hotel simply did not want to spend the extra dollars to get a mount that pulls out and swivels.
Check Out Date:2018-02-19

ProsAmenities, Room Cleanliness, Location, biscuits and gravy
ConsFacilities, tv did not pull out and swivel, no microwave in the room.

Great visit
Yes, I recommend this property.
My stay in Portland, OR was great with the exception of:
1. No towel racks in the bathroom. The little sign asking that we be "green" and use the same towels for multiple days which we did but there were no towel racks in the bathroom.
2. Glass on the desk makes it impossible to use a computer mouse. Had to put down a magazine so I could use my computer mouse.
3. Biscuits were cold and wrapped in cellophane. If there had been a microwave available to heat the biscuits and sausage gravy, it would have been OK, but no microwave available. This is possibly the worst corporate decision in the history of business. I've never known anyone to want cold biscuits.

Hotel was great. Service, breakfast food, and room were outstanding. Only thing not up to standard is the Wi-Fi, the router had to be re-set every evening.

I stay at a lot of the Holiday Inn chain. The Candlewood is just as nice but they don't offer breakfast. Everything else was great.

My stay was good, not excellent.
I made my reservation for a suite and it was confirmed as a suite. When I checked in, I was told that they save their suites for the people who request them. My question, who is more important than an Elite member?
The breakfasts were outstanding, the kitchen staff does a fantastic job.
The ice cream selection in the store was all fruity fruity. I asked several times for vanilla, but never got it.
Room was nice but was not adequate for a long term stayer.

Great Hotel!
Yes, I recommend this property.
This Holiday Inn is a great hotel and met or exceeded almost all of my expectations. The only drawback was the door to the bathroom, it should be a sliding door that slides into the wall rather than open into the bathroom. Bathroom is too small to have the door as is.
