I understood they're would be noise due to construction but the entire building and floors were under construction. They're would certain times of the day when they're was minimal heat, ceilings in the hallways were exposed creating more cold as well as the stairways. Some of the people at the front desk were friendly and the breakfast was good but furniture was very worn out. Room was nicely decorated and clean

Though under renovations at this time, rooms are clean and bedding’s are fresh. Shower and bathroom are very nice. Room was spacious with big ref, microwave and even sink. The staff were courteous and very accommodating esp when we request an urgency for early check-in. They tried their best to accommodate us the best they can. Will definitely stay with Holiday Inn again next time.

It’s next to a big shopping mall and there are quite a few restaurants near by. Felt good except my room’s key didn’t work most of the time and i had to change the room the next day. The breakfast was good with three hot items and regular stuff. Will stay at this place again.
