Holiday Inn Express & Suites Anderson

Let me start by stating that we travel all around the U.S. and find that Holiday Inn Express is usually a pleasant and dependable stay. The Anderson HIE was no exception.
This hotel appears to be newer (perhaps built within the last couple of years). The rooms here were clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The beds were laid out in their seasonal luxury – soft white sheets, blanket, comforter, and coverlet, including firm and soft pillows. Their free breakfast was the usual tasty spread: omelets, sausage, cereal selections, milk, juice, fruit, biscuits and gravy, their signature cinnamon rolls, different muffins/​pastries, and even pancakes.
The hotel is a little further back from the main road which made it nice and quiet. It’s a short drive from the interstate, stores and restaurants.
We had two parties traveling together and had two rooms reserved. One party was able to check in early and then also check out later the next day with no problems. I should also let you know that we changed our reservations (within 24 hours) from a location in Fort Wayne to this location by phone with no hassles.
Five stars for Holiday Inn Express in Anderson, Indiana!

BIG FAN! It’s been a while since I’ve stayed at a Holiday Inn, and I was very impressed! Nice, spacious clean rooms, friendly front desk staff, well lit parking lot, and an awesome continental breakfast with a nice HD TV to watch the news while enjoying your pancakes and coffee. Loved the pancakes, cheesy eggs, and cinnamon rolls. If you need to stay somewhere just outside Indianapolis, it’s a great option!

Clean, basic, quiet rooms. Pretty standard issue… but! Breakfast? Um, yes please. What a spread. Here I am prepared to be underwhelmed by sugary pastries, yogurt, bagels and a basket of Granny Smiths. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, BISCUITS AND GRAVY, (above average) warm cinnamon rolls, toast, muffins, oatmeal, cold cereals. They even had a «pancake machine»! Only complaint is the lack of fruit (only had bananas, but nothing with juice in it) and the coffee was WAY weak. Maybe it’s just the fine people of Indiana demand a higher (albeit, heavy, fattening and starchy) standard in their roadside hotel breakfasts.
