We were very satisfied with our stay in Holiday Inn Continental. We arrived from our flight before check-in time and were able to check into our rooms early. We were well located -- walking distance to train station and bus stops, and taxis were always available out front. My daughter loved the deep bathtubs and very hot water.
The restaurant featured good traditional Portuguese food --fun buffet -- and restaurants, grocery stores and a mall were nearby. During the Iberian power outage, we were unable to use credit cards anywhere, but generators kept elevators and kitchen running and lobby lit, although rooms were dark. When we returned from Barcelona for two nights after a much delayed flight, we got in easily though it was well after midnight. Staff was courteous and helpful-- spoke good English. Laundry service was too expensive to use, though.
