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.

Just ok for the price - not as good as other HIE hotels I’ve stayed in, and considerably more expensive. Don’t bother upgrading to a balcony room as the construction going on next door makes it impossible to use in peace and there’s no view to be had.
