Always like a Holiday Inn Express stay wherever in the world. The team and service here are great. Only faults we found was that its a bit dated, the double bed was just that and so was a bit on the cramped side as we are not a small couple. Great stay otherwise.

Good value for money. I wouldn't probably stay here for a long trip, but for a couple of days it's perfect. Staff is very polite and helpful. We were able to leave our luggage for free before the check-in and after check-out. Breakfast is rather generous and versatile, not everything is delicious but you can easily find what you like. We were concerned that the hotel is on a busy street but we did not hear any traffic noise.
