You will need to call Holiday Inn Express and tell them you are with our group. Reserve your room ASAP. If you wish to stay in a different hotel, with your student, that is fine, however, please note that we won’t be able to provide you transportation and we will be leaving/arriving at Holiday Inn Express. You will not find a less expensive hotel in such a great location.
