Modern, New Hotel

The breakfast included every day is great. Being only open since May, 2022 ensures the decor is very modern and fresh. Spare pillows would of been helpful as the ones already on the bed, were still far too soft. The bathroom/ensuite size is very small but manageable. The roof top pool/leisure area is wonderful, providing great views. Parking is charged daily. Overall a great stay.

The hotel is surrounded by other properties being constructed. You have to pay to park in the garage behind the hotel, as there isn't a lot like other Holiday Inn Expresses have. But the building itself was very neat and modern.
