The Holiday Inn Express Vero Beach-West I-95 is located close to the historic downtown area, with boutique shopping and public golf courses also nearby. It’s a short drive, too, to Indian River Lagoon to enjoy water sports such as diving, surfing and fishing. And the pretty stretch of sand along Vero Beach has everything you need for fun in the surf and sand. Make time to visit the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area and Environmental Learning Center, too, to experience a butterfly garden and mangrove forest and get a first-hand look at manatees. The hotel dishes up a complimentary hot breakfast every morning. And other amenities include an outdoor pool and free high-speed internet access.

All guestrooms have microwaves and refrigerators and also feature little perks like black-out shades, a pillow menu and triple-sheeted bedding for comfort and a great night’s sleep. Cribs and extra bedding can also be requested.
