Pros:

Room was exceptionally clean. Very quiet. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

I would have liked a room safe. I have stayed at a number of Holiday Inn Expresses in Europe; the breakfast buffet has many more options and better quality food and coffee. I did not like the plastic utensils and paper plates.

Pros:

My kids enjoyed the pool and we liked the flexibility of the 10pm closure so they could go for a swim after dinner. The breakfast was also really solid.

Cons:

The pull out bed was really uncomfortable. It was lumpy and creaked constantly. My kids who slept in it had trouble sleeping and they can sleep anywhere.
