Nice, nice, nice (stayed 7/25/06)
After a disappointing stay a week earlier at the Red Roof Inn in Troy 80 miles West, we were extremely happy with our stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Effingham, during our return trip. This hotel seemed to be new or newer and is in a great location near shopping and restaurants that are within walking distance. The front desk personnel were very nice and courteous. Our room was very clean and bright. There is an indoor pool that my kids enjoyed and there is a little exercise room off to the side. The express start breakfast was EXCELLENT! They had sausage gravy and biscuits, mini omelets, fruit, cereal, milk, juice, coffee, bagels, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and donuts. Not your average continental breakfast that's for sure. Everything was fresh and hot and the staff was constantly cleaning and refilling food items. And the price for the stay? $59+tax?! Are you kidding me? What an incredible deal! This will be our stop each and every time for now on! Thanks Holiday Inn Effingham!
