The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was excellent, gluten free options available. Parking is a little confusing - there is a garage attached to the building that is a flat fee but there are variables to whether you are charged more. Parking was $60NZ, we arrived at 12pm and left at 10am Monday morning.

The Holiday Inn Express was a great hotel, right in middle of all the action we wanted. The breakfast was beyond good, variety and quality. The only issue we had was we ordered a pizza from the reception, in hotel menu and it was awful, and very expensive for what we received. In Vancouver the Holiday Inn Express where we always stay when we’re traveling offers complimentary tea and coffee. We were charged $5 for a cup of lukewarm black tea. Not impressed!! The staff were very accommodating!! Thanks you !

The property was central to the shops. The only issue was the elevators, when one was down, it took a while to get into another as there were tons of ppl waiting. It would have been nice to use the stairs to get to Ground level from 2 if possible as there were a lot of ppl that wanted to do that.
