Pleasant

Liked: It was fine
Disliked: Did not sleep well in room 214 because the elevator was right next to it and you could hear the elevator going up and down

Superb

Liked: Location was perfect for lax tournaments, rooms were large and clean. Breakfast was hot and good.
Disliked: The beds were full size not queen and we booked a king but it was unavailable.

Would NOT stay here again

Liked: The breakfast was fantastic. And the beds were super comfortable.
Disliked: The fact that my door didn't close and when I expressed my issue with safety, I was disregarded. The staff left a lot to be desired. May need retraining or something.

Exceptional

Clean place to stay close...

Liked: I attended an event in Long Branch. This Holiday Inn Express was great to stay at because it was several miles from the beach and reasonably priced. Very clean and a breakfast with many options.

Great hotel at a great...

Have no reservations about recommending...

Liked: Cleanliness; helpful staff; amenities; amazing breakfast; location
Disliked: Hard to know where the entrance was. The roadside signage was after the turn into the entrance. Not as visible as needed since you have to make a quick decision while doing the speed limit and surrounded by fast moving traffic.
