The hotel was nice enough but definitely not worth the price paid. The room was not much bigger than one with a King size bed. It's unlikely that I would return due to the increased final cost.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room seemed more like a herd of elephants had just passed through instead of a peaceful space with a King size bed, it was still more than adequate. However, the rooms are highly overpriced for the services offered. The service was a rollercoaster ride, with one staff member telling me it looked like 'fresh blood,' yet the majority were super and always eager to please. The location was a bit isolated from activities, but nevertheless offered a comfortable and nice setting. The dining options, especially the so-called 'full breakfast,' left much to be desired. Although the facilities were decent, there were some minor issues. Overall, the value for money was questionable due to the prices and discrepancies in quality.

I found the Holiday Inn Express to be exceptionally clean, but I must admit that the rooms were highly overpriced for the services provided. The staff was always friendly and helpful, but it was a bit of a letdown to only receive one towel. The location, while comfortable and nice, felt isolated from activities, yet it was convenient for food and entertainment. The dining experience, although called a 'full breakfast,' was adequate, and the facilities were up to standard without being exceptional.

I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were awesome, equipped with a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. I just wish my room was on the first floor. The suite was not overly spacious but definitely adequate for a comfortable stay.
