Perfect for a short overnight and departure out of LCY. It’s walkable to the airport but only a BP4 uber fare. Left too early for breakfast but hotel provided a minimal “to go” bag w/ two small muffins, a banana and an apple. Could have used a yogurt and an orange juice or small bottle of water. Clean, modern, and easy access to Docklands light rail.

The hotel is clean with friendly and warm staff. It's conveniently located near public transportation, and quiet due to its distance from major tourist activities. They could offer a more varied breakfast menu.

We liked everything about this Holiday Inn, there is nothing that we didn't like. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and we particularly liked the fact that you can book an Uber in the hotel lobby area and it was there in less than 15 minutes. Our room was spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. We were attending the All Points East festival at Victoria Park and the hotel is quite a few miles away from the park but the Ubers are fantastic, so it wasn't a big deal to get across London.
