Staff was great and really helpful, the room was so clean the breakfast was great as well.
I needed to book a hotel at very short notice due to travel problems and the Holiday Inn Express was definitely the best of the choices I had.
COmbined with the free shuttle service, staff were incredibly helpful, room was comfy and quiet and the breakfast was very good as always with Holiday Inn - would definitely use them again.
Everything was perfect, food on sight, the airport shuttle was super easy to navigate and use, plus public transportation was quick and easy to access!!
The rooms are very clean. Better than 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very good. A lot of selection, everything was fresh and re-stocked every few minutes. We would definitely stay here again.
