Mix up room.
There was a mixup about room bookings. Someone tried to get in our room, we were told they were given the keys. My husband went to the reception to clear things up. Apparently there was a computer meltdown the other day, and we were not booked electronically but only on paper. Apologies were given and to compensate we were given free breakfast the next day. The manager was most apologetic and professional, ready to help and had a smile on her face.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn for 2 nights in total. Our original room was a 2 double bed room. When we first got our room we were happy. It had a connecting door to the room next door which we didnt think anything of. That was until our neighbours came back. We could hear everything (even the noise of the spoon stirring in their cup). They had a very noisy child who cried constantly and they spoke very loudly. As the connecting door was just a door (not soundproofed or a fire door) it really sounded like they were in the room with us. Their child constantly tried to open the door which scared my autistic daughter and very little sleep was had that night. The next day when we came back from our day out, my daughter was very unsettled, worried about another noisy night of no sleep, so i went and spoke to reception to see what could be done. I spoke to Claire who was a god send. She fully understood the struggle i faced with my daughter and went out her way to help. I offered to pay extra to be put in a room with no connecting door and said i didnt mind if the room only had 1 bed but she took care of everything, moving us to the eigth floor, where the traffic noise was much quieter, and to a room with one double bed but no connecting door (hurrah!). This room was much more spacious and so much quieter. The relief on my daughters face was priceless. I cant thank Claire enough for her help and understanding. We had breakfast each day which was full of variety and well stocked.

From the minute we checked in the service was exceptional - attentive receptionist , helpful and friendly waiters at breakfast and dinner made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We love this hotel and have visited before AND will definitely visit again. An extra special shout out to Francisco our breakfast waiter who was simply the best !!!

Good place to stay in a good location
The hotel is nice, with spacious rooms. Plenty of towels, iron, ironing board. The internet worked very well. I didn't need them to change the towels every day, but they did. Good breakfast. One thing: the hotel is a little difficult to access on foot. Whether going north or south, it's hard to exit the parking lot and find a crossing. Walking to the university every day, most of us would just run across the street when traffic allowed.
