This was a wonderful surprise! I’ve stayed at other Holiday Inn Express hotels and have been disappointed, so when this was one of the remaining options for a New Years visit to the Blue Mountains, I wasn’t happy; however, this one is amazing! Very clean and modern amenities, rooms are nicely appointed and the whole hotel seems brand new. The staff were wonderful and were very helpful and joyful! The free breakfast was good with a variety of options. Lovely, attentive staff serving breakfast. Other reviews noted noisy guests - I didn’t experience this and there was a 10pm quiet policy. Lots of families, kid friendly, and even though the breakfast was well attended, there were plenty of seats and I could get a spot away from the noise. Basic but good workout area, ample on site parking and an affordable rate. I’ll definitely stay again! Highly recommended!
