“Shoutout to Holiday Inn Express for ticking all the boxes 🙌🏾✨ Vegan sausages on the breakfast bar 😋, a pancake machine (yes please!), sanity towels stocked up, and the flex of early check-in and late check-out? Say less. 🛎️🧳💚”

Decent stay. The cleanliness was solid—rooms and common areas were well-maintained. Amenities were standard, nothing extraordinary but functional. Service was good. Decent breakfast choices!

The hotel is in a great location for anyone visiting the AO arena, within easy walking distance of the arena, the Printworks, and the Arndale centre. Nice clean room and bathroom. Breakfast is good and included in the price, however, it gets very busy at peak times.

Did not stay due to the hotel not offering flexibility after a change was required almost immediately after booking. Would not book to stay in the future yet if the hotel had been accommodating and understanding, I’m sure we would have. Very disappointed and the situation was very stressful for us.
Everything was except the selection of the room. They allocated room for disabled person. But I never requested such room. During my stay, I felt me like a disabled person.
