Every Holiday Inn Express I've stayed at has always had great employees. Belfast in particular, the continental breakfast and area are always clean, tables wiped, staff clear tables for clients. They give people plenty of time for breakfast even when people eat passed 10am.

Hotel was great, I personally found the beds to be too soft and hard on my back. I would prefer a firmer mattress. Otherwise I would highly recommend this hotel. Uber to town was $9 pounds.
