Holiday Inn Express Porterville, an IHG Hotel

The hotel itself, swimming pool, and room was very clean, and quiet! The staff is friendly. I asked if we could check-in early and was able to check in 2-hrs early and requested if we can check-out late and was able to stay 1-hr after the check out time. I called the receptionist around 9pm requesting for extra pillows and blankets, but was told that housekeeping was closed, but she said she will bring them in for us and within 5 minutes she was at the door knocking! Excellent customer service!

Room was clean. Staff was nice. Accommodations were pretty basic. I'd rather stay at a Marriot branded hotel I think, a little more fancy/plush. Location was okay. A visit to Sunrise Handy Market next door for some mojo's (seasoned potato wedges) and a monterey jack burrito made things better.

The breakfast was so so. To be honest, I only tried it once during my stay and it was interrupted by a woman who said we were late, but we can have the so called left overs, when there was clearly plenty of food still. Then she proceeded to ask us if we were told the hours. Very rude, I felt so uncomfortable that I decided to put down my plate before serving myself and decided to leave instead.

pretty much everything

bed was comfortable, whole hotel was clean including outside area.
