Holiday Inn Express & Suites Plano East - Richardson by IHG
Both saltwater and indoor pools on site
Plano, Plano
About this stay
This Holiday Inn Express stands out for offering both a saltwater swimming pool and an indoor pool, a rare double that covers a warm-weather saltwater swim and a guaranteed year-round indoor option in the same property along this stretch of highway. The continental buffet breakfast, served daily with fresh pastries, pancakes, juice and fruit, includes a child-friendly spread that families consistently mention in reviews. At 3.6 km from Historic Downtown Plano and 28 km from Dallas Love Field, the location works for both a downtown detour and a reasonable airport run (the lounge and outdoor seating area give a spot to relax before or after either pool session ends each day).

Our take
Two pools in one property is genuinely rare in Plano, and the saltwater option here is gentler on skin than the standard chlorine pools found at most nearby competitors. The 8.5 guest rating over nearly 600 reviews reflects consistent satisfaction. Families wanting a full kitchen for a longer stay should look toward the extended-stay suite brands nearby instead of this standard-room layout.
- Use the saltwater pool if sensitive skin or eyes matter, then switch to the indoor pool on a cooler or rainy day instead.
- Book early for a family room during peak season, this property's nearly 600 reviews suggest strong repeat demand.
- Ask about the child-friendly breakfast buffet timing if traveling with young kids on an early schedule before checkout.
