A new, 75-room Holiday Inn Express hotel has opened at 2011 Formosa Road in Troy.

In addition, the hotel features an indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center and a 24-hour business center. There is 900 square feet of meeting space which can comfortably accommodate up to 60 people.

A complimentary “Express Start” breakfast bar offers a full range of breakfast items, including a variety of well-known healthy options, such as Chobani yogurt, whole wheat English muffins, Kellogg’s breakfast cereals, Quaker oatmeal flavors in cups and a toppings bar for yogurt, cereal and pancakes from the brand’s one-touch pancake machine.
