The staff at this hotel were the nicest, most helpful staff I think I have ever encountered, and I've stayed in many hotels where service has come at a cost many times more than this hotel. I watched the staff deal with some very unpleasant characters and marvelled at their unflustered restraint. Well Done. Everything else is par-for-the-course for a Holiday Inn Express i.e. totally functional and satisfactory without being exceptional, and good value for the price. It is also well located for the city and next to the railway station. The car park is a municipal one, but is under the hotel and reasonably priced.
