Conveniently located very near a team stop so you can get to the city centre in 20 minutes. Hotel has (expensive paid) parking. It’s what you would expect from a HI Express, clean and reasonable. Food is very average and breakfast is not great, but there are many dining options locally.

The room we were assigned was not meant for family of 4. It was a tiny room that barely fitted a double bed and a twin sofa bed.

The location is ok- about 20 minute drive to the old town. Hotel was ok although in our room the air conditioning was very loud and it was hard to sleep. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The staff was exceptional!! I would have thought we were at a much higher end hotel based on the service. Very clean, great breakfast. Short walk to the bus stop. Hotel itself is just a little tired but not bad at all for the price and the service. Would recommend

We have stayed at several Holiday Inn Extras and always been happy. The breakfast service was poor on this occasion. We apprecaite the business model but all items ran out at the same time with minimal staff on point to address eg no cups for drinks, no bread for toast, rhen no butter for toast, no eggs, no beans. Very dissapointing.
