Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were well-equipped and comfy for a good night's sleep, but there was a lingering mildew smell that was off-putting. On the bright side, the breakfast surpassed my expectations, served in a beautifully arranged dining room.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, modern, and smelled great, providing everything you need. The service was top-notch with a friendly and professional staff. The location was central and convenient, close to restaurants and attractions. The dining experience was decent with various options. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, though they had been locked up and unused for a while, turned out to be spacious and well-equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. They were clean and devoid of any unpleasant odors like weed. The presence of a mini fridge, coffee machine, and microwave added a great convenience factor. On the downside, the dining options were not very extensive, reminiscent of other Holiday Inn Express experiences I've had in the past.
