The property was not clean. The floors in the hallways and the room were not vacuumed. The room was very small. The air stale and the bed linens were not clean and did not fit the bed properly. The reception staff were pleasant but not interested in your experience. The housekeeping staff were not able to speak English and did not make eye contact or respond to general pleasantries such as “good morning”. This Holiday Inn does not meet the standard of service we have experienced in multiple Holiday Inns around the world. Very disappointing and I cannot recommend it.

Next to the entrance road to the domestic terminals (T2 and T3). Frequent shuttle service to all terminals (domestic and international). If you try to use google maps to get here, forget it. It tells you to turn right when instead you should be in the far left lane in order to make the nearly blind left turn about 50 feet past the intersection. You'll most likely miss the turn if you've never been here before. Don't worry you'll figure it out the second time around. This place is convenient. But be aware, reception is one floor ABOVE the entry on floor one. Other than this odd muck up, it's a nice place and I found the staff to be very helpful.
