Great both times.
Convenient to on/off Freeway Hwy 99 (at Buck Owens Dr) . Also convenient to Costco & Costco Gas just the other side of freeway. Our handicap room was great, and asked for the same room one week later on our return trip back home. Thank you Holiday Inn Express.

Free Flea Bites’
This hotel has nice rooms at a fair rate and the rooms were clean to naked eye BUT the room I stayed in my 1sr night was infested with fleas! After going to bed I was awakened by severe itching and noticed in excess of 20 bites on my legs arms. Told management who moved me into another room, that didn’t cure my discomfort
