Stayed here while visiting the area for our family Christmas Party. I am a Priority Club member and was not treated as such but they were still pleasant and accommodating (asked for two rooms close to one another). The rooms were clean and updated. We needed a crib for one of the rooms and they brought it up. The breakfast they provided was good and plentiful. The pool area was an added extra for the kids. The gym area was nice but we did not use it. I thougth that when we pulled up that we would hear a lot of road noise but that was not the case. I would definitely stay here again. Price was pretty reasonable. My only problem was there was only 2 bath towels in the room and there were 2 adults and 2 children in each room, the desk did send up extra towels when asked.

Not sure if my being a Priority Club member played a role, but I was immediately upgraded to a king suite with jacuzzi and given water and cookies. Desk clerk seemed quite interested in satisfying our every need. All very friendly. Only complaint is they were a bit slow in replenishing the tasty Holiday Inn cinnamon buns at breakfast.

I've been flying into new Jersey and working in the Long Branch Area weekly for over seven months now and have almost exclusively stayed at this particular hotel. Their staff is very accomadating and helpful, the breakfast they offer is very good, the gym offerings are adequate and the location is close enough to all of Long Branch that it isn't a long drive to any of it. Furthermore, after Hurricane Sandy, they made every effort to maintain their standards even in the face of frequent power outages and dramatic snowfall. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the area, for vacation or for business.

I checked into this Holiday Inn Express not knowing what to expect. I have stayed at Holiday Inns in the past without being very satisfied.
From the moment I arrived and Brooke checked me in, I could not have been more pleased. I was there when Hurricane Sandy made landfall a short distance away and the hotel lost power. The staff made sure everyone was as comfortable as possible and provided flashlights for each room. Hotel staff worked long hours during brutal conditions and always had smiles on their faces and put the best interest for their patron's comfort first.
After the storm, the hotel was inundated with emergency workers and continued their excellent service.
This is a nice, clean and welcoming hotel. I would rate them the very best Holiday Inn Express I've ever stayed at. Special and personal appreciation go to Brooke, Sean and Clint. Through all the stress (and difficult, upset people) they worked with, they were never rude or abrupt. They went above and beyond to make me feel as though my being there was important to them. Thanks for making a difficult situation much easier. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the bed is terrific.Thier indoor pool and fitness center are very nice with modern equipment. Plenty of free parking.
The only recommendation I can make is to update the laundry room and maybe improve their hot breakfast items.
Overall, thanks for a great stay and I recommend this Holiday Inn. The rates and convenient location along with the superb staff make this a true bargain.
