Disappointing Stay – Safety Concerns & Poor Facilities Unfortunately, our stay at this Holiday Inn was far from pleasant. On the first night, my wife almost burned herself in the shower due to a faulty tap that couldn’t regulate cold water properly an unacceptable safety hazard! We were moved to another room, but this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. On top of that, the hotel has only one small elevator, which is completely inadequate for the size of the building. Expect long waits, especially during peak hours. Overall, a disappointing experience. Would not recommend unless these serious issues are addressed.
