Holiday Inn Express, Metropolis, IL

On our 10th anniversary, we were headed toward Metropolis, Illinois. Destination: unknown… oh wait, Mermet Springs for Scuba Diving. This year we decided to stay at the Holiday Inn. 

And look at that gorgeous sunset!!

Metropolis, IL 62960

The Holiday Inn Express is just down the road from the Super 8 where we have stayed so many times, especially the night they took us in at 2 am. 

Since there were 5 of us going, we got 2 hotel rooms. My MIL stayed with the girls in a double room and hubby and I shared a king-sized bed. 

From the sounds of things, all rooms were booked this weekend. Why? do I know this? Well, the air conditioner in our room needed work. The guy who worked the front desk was able to get us a room with an AC the last night we were there. And yes, he teased me. haha. I love it when people are so great. We weren’t mad, but he was great and helped us get a room with a working AC.

Why was he teasing me? Well, just like in Alaska, we had to go to the front desk to get clean towels. I got clean towels the last night we were there, and about 20 minutes later the front desk was able to change rooms for us. And I left the clean towels in our old room. So he had to get me clean towels… again.
