Holiday Inn Express Worcester

My new go-to hotel in Worcester

This is my third stay at this hotel. The hotel has free parking, a decent breakfast (included with stay), and is right next to a Starbucks and 99 (great steak tips). The rooms are clean and and staff have always been polite. The in-room mini fridge is large enough to be useful; although I do wish there were a microwave in the room as well. The Keurig in the room allows someone to come prepared with their own K-cups rather than rely on the Diedrich Coffee "Morning Edition Blend." (

I think they need to step up their maintenance / room inspections. This trip the shower curtain rod was not fully secured to the wall -- screws were loose -- so the shower curtain wouldn't stay closed; it kept sliding down because the center of the rod was hanging lower than the ends. The clock radio also was randomly making noises (buzzing sounds) even when turned off. The noise was rather regular, so housekeeping should have noticed it while cleaning the room. Other than that everything was great.
