Wasn’t too happy I had to pay $20 to park in the motel I was staying at. My friend has a disability and we needed to be close to the entrance of the building. Think that was a total con considering it said FREE PARKING in the description. This would have made me look elsewhere to stay had I have known this .

Modern, New Hotel

The breakfast included every day is great. Being only open since May, 2022 ensures the decor is very modern and fresh. Spare pillows would of been helpful as the ones already on the bed, were still far too soft. The bathroom/ensuite size is very small but manageable. The roof top pool/leisure area is wonderful, providing great views. Parking is charged daily. Overall a great stay.

The hotel is surrounded by other properties being constructed. You have to pay to park in the garage behind the hotel, as there isn't a lot like other Holiday Inn Expresses have. But the building itself was very neat and modern.
