Holiday Inn Porto Gaia, an IHG Hotel

Location within walking distance to many amenities, parks, shops, restaurants and cafes. Room was very large and quiet with a fridge and 2 bottles of complimentary water and free, reliable wifi. Food for purchase from the bar and restaurant was excellent as were the servers. We did not try the buffet breakfast. Whatever you do, do NOT order room service no matter how exhausted you may be. We were shocked at the poor quality of what we received for breakfast and there is a surcharge. Food was stale, dry and poor quality as if it was prepared hours earlier or reheated from yesterday's leftovers though it was not hot at all. We received hard, dry french fries when we thought we would receive breakfast potatoes, they missed our order of eggs, bacon and sausage was hard and inedible as well. What we thought we fresh fruit bowls were full of liquid and soggy as if dumped from a can. It almost seemed as if they were insulted by our request and gave us the restaurants leftovers from the previous day. Needless to say we couldn't eat most of it - what a waste! Other con is there is nothing to do on site for families if tired or need downtime (i.e. a pool). The tv in the room kept breaking up and cutting out and was unreliable. The lobby is nice for lounging as there are a few areas with couches for hanging out and a few tvs showcasing sports as well.

Very pleasant experience ... got a suite for my family ... two floors with two bathrooms, living room, two separate bedrooms ! Amazing !!!!
