I will never stay at this hotel again. The Hotel is designed for those that are only flying in with no car. I am very upset! Parking is $22 plus tax total $30.25 per day to park. There were 2 of us with cars. It would have been the cost of a room for one night to park. On-site parking is listed as an amenity it should not be listed there. Had I known it was paid parking I would of choose a different hotel.😤😡Then as we were sleeping the vent popped open and I could not close it. One of us got sick because the temperature was not consistent! I am so upset about the parking charge! Again I will never stay here again!

I visited the holiday pop-up bar and had a great time. The decor was festive and made for a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Andrea served up some awesome cocktails that were delicious, she's the absolute best she deserves a huge bonus from IHG for working the bar singlehandedly. She provided excellent service to all the guests who visited the bar.

Very friendly staff the day i checked in.
As a travelling tourist the self service laundry is quite nice too.
However the room i had atleast was next to a busy road and from early morning there was alot of noises from the traffic.
Dinner and breakfast was good, both servers being very attentive and accomodating.
