Really enjoy staying at Holiday Inn across the world. They are simply comfortable and always have a good atmosphere. I come out feeling content and happy! There were a few issues with the room I was in. The aircon didn’t work. There was a bathroom hook missing to hang the towel. But that was really it and didn’t make any difference to the quality of service provided and the great breakfast they had! Thank you.

Inexperienced staffs, they dont know what they're
When i checked in i said i need to pay for the other room as i booked 2 rooms at hotel.com and when i initially booked for one room then my daughters what to come so i reserved another room with note that i will pay for that when we check in. So when we arrive i said i booked for 2 rooms an i have to pay for the other room but then receptionist said both rooms been paid so i thought they used the same card i used to book other room. So check out time they said theres nothing to pay, so we left then after couple of days they said they're trying to get hold of me as i did not pay for the other room, so said i did try to pay when we check in but they said its already paid and now they are chasing me So i paid over the phone! Plus its pet friendly and dogs next room continously barking even at night fortunately its our last night otherwise would ask to change our room!

Would Stay Again.
We stayed here because it was Dog friendly. Overall, I would say we had an excellent stay. The hotel is true to its description of Dog friendly, although tou can’t eat in the restaurant with them (which is reasonable). There were a lot of families with dogs and they were made very welcome. The bar was also child friendly with toys and games available. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was that one of us is a vegetarian and there were no items available from the tapas menu, which was disappointing and reduced the options available.

The rooms are spacious, and the breakfast offers a good variety of food. The staff are polite and this about summarises all the positives. The carpets in the rooms and corridors are old and worn, giving the hotel an outdated and dirty feel. Carpet in the room felt and looked dirty. The biggest issue was the lack of USB plugs, which is unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. We only had a charging cable and were disappointed to find no USB options—just a limited, old fuse boxes. Instead, the hotel offered a machine at reception to buy a charger, which was nothing more than a cash grab. Majority of the amenities need to be updated to meet modern standards. No TV or a safe in the room - not a major issue for us but felt odd for a hotel that advertises itself as a 4-star.

Dirty towel
Hotel was booked for convience and had used before. Booking in was straight forward. Room was closer to reception this time which was great. The only issue was that one large towel looked dirty like it had make up on with mascara. We did try to ring reception but the phone in the room didn’t work and when rang the hotel from my mobile it cut of twice after a long while no body answering . That was disappointing when was told any problems to call them. Yes I could off gone to reception , but I had had my shower and didn’t want to get dressed again to go out the room. Also there was no one at reception when we left early morning
