Chose this hotel after having horrible experience at another hotel nearby. It's 5 min drive from the hotel, and the highway access made it easy for us to drive to back & forth to POS or chaguaramas. The hotel is located in the middle of this large property with nothing else around it, but that's the only bad I can say about it.

Situated a bump 10 minute drive from the airport; this property occupies an area that is adjacent to a 4 lane highway on one side and the Youth Prison and main Royal Prison on the other sides.

As the inmates of those facilities will attest; there is no escape. Fortunately, if you are considering a stay at this Holiday Inn Express, you, unlike the inmates have a choice of much better accommodations. Either the Hyatt, Courtyard Marriott, or Crowne Plaza - in town.

Granted it is a drive, so, plan accordingly; however, if you decide that this airport property is for you - be aware of the following.

Shoddy accomodations, stained carpets, foam pillows, air conditioning that is so loud, you will need earplugs Bathroom fixtures are dated and falling off the walls. Associates who really don't care about guests. Free shuttle service - good luck with surviving that. You'll wait about 25 minutes at the airport, call the hotel and get the 'he's on his way'. Shuttle van has no shocks and driver, in our case drove at excessive speeds - for no reason.

Want some food - unlike the inmates who you can see from your windows, and who receive three hots and a cot, you'll have to endure a van ride to find anything resembling a restaurant.

Takeout - forget it. Breakfast - if you're preference is for High Fructose Corn Syrup and apples - this is your place. Otherwise, save your money, go for one of the earlier mentioned hotels and just get up earlier if you have to catch a flight.

Stayed here on my last night in Trinidad and chose this hotel for its nearby location to the airport. . Its located about a 5-7 min drive away from the airport , but a fair distance from the action in POS.
Hotel staff were friendly, the room was large with good amenities, a flat screen TV and a large comfortable bed. WiFi is also available and theres also a decent sized pool onsite.
There's no restaurant on site but theres a free shuttle which is available to take you to either the restaurant, golf course or shopping mall and will drop you back to the hotel at your convenience. I opted to order room service- over an hour later I was contacted and told the delivery driver had had car problems and was delayed. He arrived shortly after and was given the food free of charge due to the excessive wait so no issue with that .
All up it was a nice place to stay and good if your stopping over for a night . Rooms were quite expensive however and if your looking for some action at night it'd be worth looking elsewhere closer to the city.

I stayed at this property for 4 days the staff where excellent and friendly.. The breakfast was just fine.. The room was in good condition with a comfortable bed and had been recently refurbished. The cleaning staff keep the place looking good.. All the staff where friendly and always helpful as I found everyone I spoke to in Trinidad... Unlike some places in the world this place is still tourist and visitor friendly.. Meals are at a near by golf course that has a free shuttle service again an excellent experience with great food.. It is near the airport so a little away for the action..
