Feels a little tired

Conveniently located, being close to the M5 and a quick drive into the city centre. Hotel is fine for a one night stay but lacks any facilities beyond the basic and feels a little tired. The double beds are small and not particularly comfortable and one pillow per person is insufficient, so had to ask for additional pillows. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the check-in and check-out process were efficient.

The property is fine and the facilities are good. The parking seems safe and is convenient, but the spaces marked for the Holiday Inn were very full. The spaces marked for Miller and Carter were available but it was not clear if it was ok to park there. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The bedroom was fine but stank of stale cigarette smoke. It was great the way the door closed to enclose the toilet within the bathroom for extra privacy among roommates. The breakfast was quite busy and the hot options were not restocked very quickly and the baked beans had fully run out. The croissants were burnt. The berries were not fully defrosted. The latte from the machine was not a latte and was frankly undrinkable. But once available, the scrambled egg and bacon were delicious.
