"Location is excellent.
Driving up to the parking for holiday inn lobby is not for the faint-hearted. Narrow turns. 😂
Room is great. Very spacious though sofa bed is not for the not-so-young. Probably doable for kids. Not exactly sea view though our room is supposed to have sea view as it’s not on a higher floor. More immigration centre view and sky view. Amenities were provided.
Breakfast variety was excellent. Family had lots of items to choose from. However, understaffed. A guest carried his child to juice carrots and celery. The child was stepping on the alcove where the juice glasses are placed for all of us. Wish a staff had told off the parent. "
