Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was centrally located, making it easy to access good restaurants and the metro line, but the rooms were cramped and made it challenging to move around, especially during breakfast. The service started off friendly and helpful until encountering staff with major attitude. The hotel provided the typical breakfast options, including a cereal bar and juice in a brown bag, but the dining experience lacked variety. The location was great for dining out and exploring the city, and the facilities were well-kept and clean.
The hotel had a bit of a mixed experience with rooms feeling a bit small and tight, but the service was satisfactory. The location was convenient with eating establishments nearby, and dining options were nice. The Holiday Inn offered some typical breakfast choices, and the facilities were maintained well.
