My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were modern, clean, and well-equipped, although they still smelled of paint. The service was exceptional, with warm and helpful staff making my stay pleasant. The location was convenient, although the design with revolving doors made the restaurant uncomfortably cold. The dining experience offered a variety of choices but was a bit chaotic at times. Overall, a good value for money.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its superb location, right across the road from the bus station and surrounded by numerous restaurants and stores. The room, although a bit small for two people, was cozy and quiet, maintaining that classic high standard of Holiday Inns and offering excellent value. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to accommodate requests and provide professional assistance. The dining experience, while nice with a good selection, could have been improved with hotter plates and quicker food replenishment. Overall, a great stay for those looking for convenience and great service.

The hotel had modern, lovely rooms that were spotlessly clean, although a bit warmer than expected. The service was exceptional and super helpful. The location was extremely convenient, especially for travelers via bus, but faced issues with double charging. The dining experience had a good variety but was seen as overpriced by some. Overall, a comfortable stay with fantastic service and location.

The service was cheerful, helpful, and efficient, although there could be better communication with the kitchen for a seamless experience.
