I had to make an emergency booking at the Holiday Inn Express after another hotel I had booked to stay at had a cocroach infestation. I arrived at 8pm, flustered and stressed. Your receptionist caled KC was superb; so lovely and calmed me down. And it was such a relief to find a lovely clean, well-stocked bathroom. I was only passing through but would definitely stay again!

I didnt like having a flashing red light in my room adjacent to the bathroom visible from my bed. When I removed it from its setting a glaring flashlight came on. I had to cover it with a towel to get to sleep. King St adjacent to the hotel is narrow and when leaving the carpark my vision to oncoming traffic was blocked by a delivery van. The lady on the desk when I booked in seemed unhappy and the decore of the property was bland. I'll really have to think hard about returning.

Night in Newcastle
We felt the dinner options were just a bit THIN, so we walked a few blocks around the hotel and not a lot of choice there. Maybe some very basic food items could be offered such as soup, toasties etc?
