Like the TARDIS, the hotel is effectively invisible from the road and much larger inside. It's a quiet retreat just ten steps from busy El Comino Real. The breakfast was excellent and the front staff were a joy to chat with in the early morning. My family and I will be back, I have recommended the hotel to my friends.

Holiday Inn Express was enough for a quick one night stay. Room was clean but first room had an odor that made us want to change rooms which staff promptly allowed us to do. HVAC was extremely loud which did not help my jet lag. Breakfast was good. Parking was safe and close.

There was some construction one night with someone running a jackhammer at midnight. Your management should coordinate with any group like that to prevent disturbing hotel guests. Also, I thought it was a big overpriced for value but I guess it is difficult finding rooms at that time
