Like any holiday inn, it is a good value for money option. Located about 15min walk away from Gaya Street, the location is not too close from the main tourist area, yet Kota Kinabalu is a small city, so getting around isn't a problem.
The gym is better than most hotel, the bar serves a good pint, all in all a good option!

Strategic location right at the KK city centre. 15min drive from the airport. Easy access to all shopping malls. Excellent sound proof room against the main road traffic. Serve good breakfast. However, the variety of dishes is quite similar such as nasi lemak, pineapple fried rice and fried noodles. I personally thought that the hotel could provide something better than that. Anyway, it was a good stay and definitely I'll come back to the hotel again. Thank you.

Amazed by their breakfast buffet. although not as fancy as Marriott hotel breakfast on selections, but each dishes their served taste good. Especially their traditional kueh. Their pastries also very nice.
Room is clean and everything else you expected for an express hotel they have it.
Very fast room service , location wise very near to popular seafood restaurants.
