I have never stayed in a Holiday Inn with so much quality (and I stay at Holiday Inns regularly) so I guess you would say IC quality for sure - I would certainly rate it at 5 star. To be fair though I do not tend to stay in the Intercontinental Brand more Crowne Plazas and Holiday Inns. I do have some pictures which I can forward at the weekend if anyone wants to message me with email addresses (if that helps). Although I was absolutely delighted with the room and hotel I presume there would be better 5 star hotels in the vicinity - as it is a new hotel there are always going to be teething problems
