The hotel provided a mixed experience with spacious and clean rooms but lacking in cleanliness and some unfriendly encounters with staff. The location was convenient for airport access but not appealing surroundings, and the dining options were basic. Service was inconsistent but offered helpful amenities.

My brief overnight stay at the hotel was adequate, clean, and provided reasonable value for money. It was just what I expected from a Holiday Inn: clean and comfy, and the room was quiet and comfortable with an excellent shower. However, the location seemed a bit far from the airport, and dining options were disappointing.

This hotel is ideal for early morning flights, offering good-sized, clean rooms. While the service can be a mixed bag, with some staff being unhelpful, others go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay. The location is convenient for those catching an early flight, though not the most picturesque area. The dining experience can be hit or miss, with potentially long wait times. Overall, good value for a short stay before a flight.

The hotel was ideal for our overnight stay after a late flight. The rooms were exactly what you'd expect at the Express brand – clean, spacious, and with a modern bathroom. The staff were friendly and particularly helpful with early morning taxi arrangements. However, the location had some drawbacks with a strong urine smell and high taxi costs to the airport.

The hotel offers spotless, modern, and quiet rooms, which are clean and spacious with a modern bathroom. The rooms are well sound insulated from outside noise, so the proximity to the airport and road did not affect sleep. However, being next to a busy road may cause some noise disturbances. The service was kind and helpful, with fresh breakfast, excellent Wi-Fi, and no complaints. The location is convenient for the airport but poor for the town; it is great for late or early flights but rather industrial. The dining experience was satisfactory, although limited for specific dietary needs. Overall, a decent stay with minor drawbacks.
