    Specific for this chain- it has a sound system/speaker connected to every floor. The same song with same volume played at the lobby could be heard from every floors. Somehow the Hotel likes to play music until 11:00pm or above. I understand this is needed in case if emergency. But there should be an easy away to disconnect music played at the lobby from the floors where people need to sleep/rest. I talked to the receptionists, he said it could not be separated. This specific night somethinga awful happenned. No water in the morning. Yes. Couldn't take a shower. Finito. One more thing, maybe due to too many people having bfast, at aprox 9 AM there was almost no food. Finito. I ordered poach eggs, no plates, no fork, spoon.. finitto..so I approach the lady in front and told her "this is emergency situation, the Hotel would look bad". I didn't see F&B manager managing the situations.

    It carriers an international chain name. I assumed it would have been consistently good.

    The breakfast just ok. Minimal choice of food. The coffee is not recommended..

    It's located in the city center. The room quite nice. We move from previous room since the fridge is not function well and there was no privacy since the sheer curtain was still in laundry. But we move to the nicer room. The staff very nice and helpfull.

    The room did not have a good view. The structure of the building is peculiar, as the lobby is in the second floor, and there is nobody to greet the guest and inform us where the lobby is. The breakfast is too little, no variation.

    1. front desk staff were not friendly. 2. breakfast spread was not great. 3. room is small. 4. too much self service, but room rate is pricey. 5. too many cars parked at the foyer entrance, difficult to get in.

    breakfast staff were helpful.

    Bed sheet, pillow covers and quilt cover seems have not been replaced. Some dirt and hair were on the bed sheet and pillow cover. Bath towel was torn and color was yellowish. Room phone didn’t work. Found ants in the room. Have reported the complaints to front desk and it was addressed. Quite fast. Bed sheets, pillow and quilt covers were replaced. The better bath towels were replaced as well.

    Good location.

    There is no room service and very very narrow space for car parking. Parking become very horrible for us. They ask us to park in the front of hotel but must give the car key to them. But we are not convenience to do that because we put our lens and camera at the car. Actually they should inform this situation so guest can consider this before deciding to choose the hotel. FYI, I love Holiday Inn but not the Express.

    Room is very comfortable and the location is very good.
