Holiday Inn Express Newport North - Middletown By Ihg

Alright, picture this: You're cruising down the highway, windows down, hair flowing in the wind (well, maybe not flowing, but you get the idea). Suddenly, your stomach grumbles like a distant thunderstorm. It's time to find a place to rest your head and fill your belly. Enter our hero of the hour, the Holiday Inn Express Newport North - Middletown, by Ihg.

First Impressions: The Grand Entrance

Now, I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but let's be real, we all do it. And this place? It's like the cool kid at the hotel prom. Sleek, modern, with a hint of 'I woke up like this' nonchalance. The exterior is all 'I'm not trying too hard, but look at me, I'm fabulous'.

You pull up, and the valet greets you like an old friend. "Welcome back, sir/madam!" they say, even if it's your first time. It's like they've got some sort of psychic valet parking ability. Impressive, right?

Check-In: The Dance of the Keycards

You saunter into the lobby, and it's like walking into a cozy, well-lit hug. The check-in process is a breeze. The receptionist is friendly, not in that 'I'm just saying this because it's my job' way, but in a genuine, 'I actually like my job' way. They hand you your keycards (yes, plural. This place believes in backup plans) and point you in the direction of your room.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Keycards? Plural? What sorcery is this?" Well, my friend, it's not sorcery. It's just good planning. Because let's face it, there's nothing worse than losing your keycard and having to do the awkward 'Can you buzz me in?' dance with the person behind you in the elevator.

Rooms: The Cozy Nest

Your room is like a cozy little nest, all warm and inviting. The bed is like a cloud that's had a few too many espressos (in a good way, if that's even possible). It's firm, yet yielding. It's like sleeping on a supportive friend who's had a few too many lattes.

And the bathroom? It's like a little oasis. The shower is powerful enough to make you feel like you're standing under a waterfall in a rainforest (minus the creepy crawlies). The towels are fluffy enough to make you question why you ever bothered with your ratty old ones at home.

Dining: The Breakfast Bonanza

Now, let's talk about the most important meal of the day. The Holiday Inn Express Newport North - Middletown doesn't mess around when it comes to breakfast. They've got a whole spread that would make your grandma proud.

And the best part? It's all free. Yes, you heard me right. Free. As in, you don't have to pull out your wallet. As in, you can have seconds (and thirds, if you're feeling extra hungry). It's like they're daring you to eat more. And who are we to refuse a dare?
