September 8, 2016 Chris W. 0

Holiday Inn Express hotels are normally my first choice if I do road trips, especially in the USA. They are convenient located, have comfortable rooms and breakfast is standard included. They are not luxury, but that’s also not the brands intention. I prefer them over [read more]
