The room is very tidy and clean. Arguably the cleanest hotel room ive been in for the last 10 years. The other was also a Holiday Inn Express in Lido Key Beach.

Large and clean rooms. Lobby, halls and elevators are in great conditions. On the down side our room is facing the highway and it was very noisy.
