Good position, but about the service room I’d like to tell that the rooms are not cleaned every day of the stay and the last day it was not even cleaned. Then little care in checking the change of glasses and cups.

The service is horrendous. Turned up and they didn't have my booking. Once that was sorted I waited over an hour for some arancini balls. This isn't my first stay here and something similar happened previously. When I asked for a copy of my invoice the person behind the counter said that I didn't get one because I didn't ask. I directed him to the sign on the desk that says an invoice would be emailed as part of the check out process. I will not stay here again.

Great place to stay. Centrally located to where we were going, making it easy to walk everywhere. Price is great with an excellent breakfast included. Only down side: Internet is very slow and bathroom doors close with a bang.

Slow and poor service.
I've stayed many times at this hotel, and other Holiday Inn hotels in Australian and overseas, but this was easily the worst check-in experience - more than 20 minutes of waiting. Ignored the pre-booked parking as part of the booking and made us book via a QR code on the counter. Then when we returned from dinner it took 20 minutes to get into the room because the lifts were barely operating. No answer of the phone or the call button downstairs.
