Slighty tired hotel, but excellent service

Really great staff. Never had poor service at a holiday inn. Kudos to a chirpy Ben on the morning shift. This is slightly dated hotel and the bathroom set up is unfriendly with a step into the bathroom and a huge step into the shower. The bed felt like a tiny double. It is conveniently located which is why it is so popular. Breakfast was a highlight, well laid out, plenty of space and fresh food

Friendly 24h customer service, but our whole room stank of blocked drainage. I don't know what they wash the bedding and towels in, but it felt like being in a chemical fire. Woke up with a tight chest. Couldn't wait to get out.

Overnight stay

Very comfortable room, huge bed and okay space for our dog. Breakfast was a little disappointing - no ready made porridge or fried eggs! Maybe it was because we were late getting there - it was 10am.

Overnight stay

Overnight stay to see daughter at uni, not much time spent in hotel, large bed, clean room, tv would have like two towels rather than share, body wash was dove so good. Breakfast wasn’t great but it filled a gap. Would I return, yes.

Not satisfactory

No one on the reception desk so had to stand around for about 8 minutes to check in. Lighting in the rooms very poor relatively clean but dingy corners in the bathroom, worn, frayed towels. Kitchen closed 30 minutes before advertised time. Not what we wanted after a long journey.
