The Holiday Inn Express and Suites Modesto is a solid place to stay that offered us a clean, comfortably furnished suite in which everything worked perfectly. There was also a very decent breakfast by American standards. The only thing that could be improved is the rigid mounting of the television directly opposite one of the two beds, which unfortunately did not allow the television to be swiveled. If you book a suite, you will certainly want to be able to watch TV from the seating area. Another problem with our room 316 on the top floor was that it was apparently directly under a large ventilation system on the roof. The result was constant noise in the bathroom, comparable to being in a jet plane. And even in the suite, a constant humming and low-frequency vibration of the floor was unmistakable. So our advice: feel free to stay here, this is a nice hotel, but avoid staying on the 3rd floor if possible.
