Holiday Inn is a functional hotel that you stay at if you want to get to the airport early. The staff were polite and attentive. The rooms were nice and and clean, had been freshly painted so there was a smell. The beds are comfortable. The restaurant downstairs offered food but wouldn’t recommend it. Great for a stop over.

We had an early flight Sunday morning, which is why we booked this hotel so close to airport. Noise from other inconsiderate guests, including a huge group of children shouting aa they came up and down in the lift on 3 occasions, and a group of young men sitting in the corridor, talking loudly just outside our room at midnight, made it inpossible to sleep. The staff really need to monitor this..we had to ask the other guests to be quiet. I am sure we are not the only people trying to get some sleep before early flights. We would not recommend this hotel unless management get this behaviour under control. Staff showed little or no concern
