I stayed here on a three night business trip: selection was based on: brand; cost; location to where I would be working (which was not in the centre of the city). The review is based on those criteria. Located to the north of the city, and with quick access from the ring road to the north, this is a modern Holiday Inn with ample on-site car parking, with drop-off to the front and overnight parking (with hotel access) to the rear. Check in was quick, staff were polite and efficient and I was soon on my way to my second floor room. The rooms are of a decent size, comfortable bed, tea / coffee facilities, iron and board and a good sized TV (which I never switched on). As stated in other reviews, furnishing is a bit minimalistic, and although the desk was adequate, there is really only hanging space for clothes, it was quite reminiscent of a Scandinavian business hotel. The bathroom was great, good shower and lots of hot water. It did have one of these large, shallow, sinks, I'm not a fan, especially if the plug mechanism was erratic (in my case). Although my room faced the front, I was not really aware of any traffic (noise). Breakfast, included, is served from 0700, and was really quite good (better than I was expecting). Also downstairs is a small, comfortable 24/7 bar. Not a huge choice of drinks, but more than enough to please. The one thing to be aware of though is that the hotel does not serve dinner, and it is a bit remote. There is a good coffee shop next door, but the nearest food is about a 15 minute walk away, and that is for fast-food type stuff. Bistros or restaurants are closer to a 30 minute walk (it takes 30-35 minutes to walk to downtown). I knew that beforehand, and quite like walking, so for me it wasn't an issue. And of course the room rate is competitive compared to the hotels nearer the centre. There's also no gym, and I do like a gym where I'm staying. So if you aware of those limitations, but want a modern, comfortable place to stay at a competitive rate, this really is a good option.
