Hotel was nice, clean, comfortable. Staff was very friendly. I heard the area can be sketchy at night but the hotel put in a lot of security measures like scan into the buildings after 9pm, always scan in to get into the elevators, scan into the public bathroom. It was conveniently located next to the train station. We look a shuttle from the airport to the train station and walked across the street and it was the hotel. Lots of small coffee shops and restaurants around the area. There is also a small grocery store right under the hotel. Breakfast was included and delicious. There were a nice choice of fresh bread, pastries, cheese, fresh fruits, eggs, and pancakes.

We were told that they had overbooked and didn’t have a room for us. They took it upon themselves to book us down the street at another hotel. It had a shoebox room, and smelled of cigarettes. We looked it up on Expedia, and it was over $100 euros a night cheaper, with no mention from Holiday Inn about reimbursement. We contacted Expedia, and are awaiting refund.

Wonderful view from the 7th floor overlooking the city. Breakfast was great and staff were very welcoming. The luggage storage and late check ins were life savers for our check in after taking our train from Paris and allowed us to explore the city on foot

What a delightful end to our 5 week vacation!!! We stayed at many hotels in Spain, Italy and Corsica and this Holiday Inn Express was right up there with the best. We chose it for its location near the train station but got so much more. We arrived at 10am, walked to the hotel and the staff offered ticketed and locked storage for our luggage. They gave us a map and showed us how to spend our day. We went to the end of the marina and into the fabulous and free fort. The room was large, super clean, and had intelligently designed funiture with space for 2 suitcases, packs, clothes and more. The breakfast buffet starts at 6:30am for those with early departures, like us! The buffet had cooked eggs, meat & vegetable, cresants & breads, yogurt & dried fruits & nuts, and was clean, organized and plentiful. What an excellent experience we had at the Holiday Inn Express!! Thank you!!

Easy Access to Train Station
We stayed here because we had a very early morning train to Paris and the location was extremely convenient, right across the street. Perhaps not the nicest area of the city, but the hotel had everything we expected. The front desk staff were kind and helpful even packing some breakfast for us to go since we wereeaving before the continental breakfast began.
