“Excellent Staff and Hotel. Highly Recommended. ********”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Two of us stay regularly at this hotel, due to both business and leisure. My husband works and I do my 'Julia Roberts' at Junction One Retail Outlet Store (within walking distance). We have never had cause to complain. The staff are always friendly. Breakfast is great and a special 'thank you' must be made to the Chef Mr Maurice O'Rawe, who accomodates my special dietary requirements and always with a smile! (If the hotel is very busy, allow time for any special request). Congrats to everyone. It certainly is a 'team' effort, yet is made look effortless! Wi-Fi available in the lobby. Thank You Everyone!

Room Tip: As with any hotel, earplugs are a wonderful invention! Young guests can be very excitable!

What a great review, thank you!

A Shopping Guru, I love it!

I was very happy to read your review & Mauice is feeling and looking at least 2ft taller.

We do try to meet everyone's dietry requirements, so am delighted to see that yours were met.

I am very blessed to have such a lovely team who are really dedicated to their work, I would love to take credit for this but to be honest if you met anyone of them outside of the hotel they would be exactly the same. They are just a great bunch.

I have put a copy of your review up on the staff notice board so they can see your comments for themselves.

Thank you once again and hope to see you again soon!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment with reference to your recent stay with us.

I am delighted to hear that you were happy with the bedroom and the facilities. We are very pleased that the whole hotel is wheelchair accessible and with accessible rooms from the ground to the second floor it means that there are no restrictions and the majority of requests can be met.

The staff will be very happy to read your comments which I will pass on to them.

I very much hope that we see you again soon.

Thanks again

“Decidedly average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Had problems with people standing outside smoking and talking until morning. Complained to management who didnt seem bothered.

Food not good in hotel. Breakfast is inconsistent and has sometimes been out for a long time.
Had a cool pizza one evening that had to go back. Redz next door and Moes Grill at the retail park are quality places though and would recommend them every time. (Avoid the Antrim Park pub - poor service and food).

24hr Asda down the road is useful.

Beds are VERY comfortable and rooms are clean and staff helpful.

Room Tip: Get a room at the rear of the hotel. Rooms near the reception suffer from dirty smokers standing out...

“Great value and super staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This is a Holiday Inn Express so fabulous luxury and manicured grounds are not part of the deal, but as we had a day to kill ahead of a flight home we booked in here and were not sorry. The room was a good size, quietly located, with a large and effective radiator (very important given the wild January weather). The shower was suitably powerful and basic toiletries, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities provided. However, the great thing is the quality of the staff (Leanne, Diane & co) who made registration a pleasure and who dealt cheerfully with requests to hold baggage, give directions, phone taxi etc. Watching their handling requests from other clients confirmed that this treatment was the norm. Given the very reasonable B&B rate the cooked breakfast included was a real bonus and on a par with many more expensive non-budget hotels. Well worth considering.

Room Tip: Worth asking for a quieter room (2nd floor and away from main road).
