Fair number of properties in North America branded as 'Holiday Inn & Suites' where room size expectations are larger.
Except that this thread is about Holiday Inn Express, which is a

Holiday Inn Express (at least in the USA) has a self-service limited complimentary breakfast and no restaurant.
Holiday Inn, or Holiday Inn & Suites, has an actual restaurant (and generally no complimentary breakfast).
