This hotel has an amazing location, super central but not on a busy street, and has on-site car park for a reasonable cost that makes it really convenient
My stay at Holiday Inn was exceptional! The staff was amazing and friendly. The location was centrally located so I was able to get to where I needed to be with ease!
Clean rooms, great amenities, decent breakfast, friendly staff, vendors outside hotel doors. Smart TV, a/c worked well. Late check out option. I would definitely stay again.
