Basic hotel, but the location was brilliant right opposite Wet & Wild waterpark and close to loads of restaurants. We only stayed here for 4 nights so was good for what we wanted. I was quite impressed with the room to say how little we paid, beds were comfy, although we had a view of the wall we wasn't bothered... More

Staff unfriendly Rooms dirty, with broken lamps and tv. Shower had mold on ceiling Great location, but not worth it. I can deal with an older hotel but I have never experienced such filth! The AC barely worked in the room and the hallways had NO AC! If we hadn't paid threw a travel website I would have left immediately!... More

we stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks as part of our honeymoon, when we first arrived unfortunately the room did smell quite bad, after a few minutes of discussion we decided we could not stay in that room for 2 weeks and decided to ask if we could move. At reception the staff were very appologetic and helpful, they... More

This is absolutely poor. This is definitely not a 2.5 stars or even 2. Holiday Inn is considered a 2 or 2.5. They only have free Wifi in lobby. Otherwise you pay. Even if you pay it is verrrrrry slow. Slower than dialup if you ever used it. the rooms or just blah. towels are really bad.TV no remote. Free... More

I have stayed in all ranges of hotels, especially budget types, through America and Europe, as well as Scandinavia. My standard is set like this: I need a conveniently located place, conspicuously cleaned up, with good shower and free wifi. When a hotel doesn't provide free internet connection inside the room, you can bet they're the kind you want to... More

I was really pleased with my 3 night stay. Wasn't expecting much from a one star but I am happy to report that my visit was great! Friendly service from everyone, spacious pool, ample parking. Room was basic, clean, and working aircon and tv. I would stay here again if I were on a tight budget.

We were totally shocked when we arrived at this place! It was certainly nothing like the reviews or pictures. It was an absolute dive that was full of low-class people. Other than the filthy rooms complete with sticky carpets, mould and resident bed bugs & cockroaches, the constant noise & disruption of kids running up and down the corridors, shouting,... More

Upon reading initial reviews of this place from here, I was a bit apprehensive of the mixed opinions but different experiences are obviously going to vary, you cant please everybody. If you are expecting luxury then save your money because it is not that kind of hotel, spend the extra money and get yourself to a Hilton or a Disney... More
