“I had a fantastic experience at this hotel and would highly recommend it. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and professional. A special mention has to go to Kelcy, who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and hospitable throughout. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and the team really made the visit feel comfortable and enjoyable. The coffee lounge was also excellent, with a lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. It is clear that the staff take pride in looking after their guests. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. Great service, friendly staff, and a really pleasant experience from start to finish.”
“Breakfast was superb, with plenty of choice for all the family. Everything was fresh and well cooked. Kelcy welcomed us when we arrived and it was really nice that she spoke directly to the kids as well, which made them feel welcome. The room was clean, tidy and exactly what we'd expect from a Holiday Inn Express. Really enjoyable stay overall and we'd happily come back.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service Every Single Time! I cannot say enough good things about the exceptional service Kelcy provides. Every single time I visit, I am greeted with the warmest smile and a genuinely friendly attitude that instantly makes my day better. It is rare to find someone who consistently brings such positive energy and dedication to their work. Kelcy doesn't just check the boxes—they go above and beyond to ensure you are completely taken care of, making you feel valued and appreciated as a customer.Thank you”
“We had a nice stay at this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience. The facilities were good, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. A special thank you to Diana and Babsi at breakfast. They were always friendly, attentive, and created a positive start to our day. One area for improvement would be the evening bar service. While the staff were polite, they seemed to need a bit more experience and product knowledge to better assist guests with drinks and recommendations. Overall, we really appreciated the hospitality and would happily recommend this hotel to others.”
