Great hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. The room was spacious and had two windows which opened. Air conditioning wasn't working in the entire hotel, so open windows were perfect. You also got a free bottle of water and a free ice cream! Location was excellent, close to shops, station, beach and attractions. We highly recommend this hotel.

I had a wonderful stay!
The service was excellent – the staff were friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, especially the pool and gym area. I also really enjoyed the food – the breakfast buffet had a great variety and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to come back again!

Location of the hotel is great! It's inside Gunwharf Quays outlet which makes dining and shopping pretty convenient. Quite unfortunate that air-conditioning was not working during my stay, which makes the room stifling. Got 10% off for most of the restaurants and shops inside the outlet as a holiday inn guest.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Downstairs is an outlet mall with a wide range of food, drinks and entertainment. It is also within walking distance to the seaside attractions. The self-service English breakfast is not bad, with a wide variety of choices. It provides free parking for the first 24 hours, and then 2 pounds per day. But the most annoying thing is that when we checked in, we were told that the air conditioner was broken. In the hot summer, the room only provided a small fan to cope with it, and the hotel staff could not tell us when it would be restored, which made the whole three-day stay without cooling. Since the full fee was prepaid through Trip.com's hotel voucher, it cannot be returned. Even if the hotel put an apology statement in the room, we could only endure it silently.

Very helpful staff: bags kept for us both on arrival and after we checked out. An extension lead was found for us. Comfortable room and beds; food adequate with a reasonable choice.
