    Since we've already been in IHG Holiday Inn hotels and also in London - it was just like arriving home. Size of room and furnishings - almost the same. Good firm bed and pillows. Breakfast - also almost the same as in other IHG Holiday Inn -...

    The location was perfect for early flight, plus the addition of early breakfast to grab and go or have something before heading to the airport was very thoughtful.

  • Claudia

    We did not spend a long time at the hotel due to an early flight. The room was spacious, clean and beds comfortable. Although we didn't have time for a sit down breakfast, we could take a continental selection with us.
