Unfortunately my room had an over powering smell of curry. However, staff reacted extremely swiftly in allocating another room with a couple of drinks vouchers to boot. Sometimes things go wrong but it's how you re-act that matters. Holiday Inn staff take a bow, first class.

Will definitely go again

We could not fault the hotel in any way. The room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. All the staff were fabulous. Friendly, helpful and extremely efficient. Breakfast was a delight with lots of choices (though I was sorry to miss the black pudding) and all the plates were warm so the food didn't cool quickly. In all wonderful stay. Thank you.

The hotel was great. The issue was that the hotel had not received the booking. Luckily they still managed to find us a room as they were not fully booked.

A brick window of a view

The staff are great but they are hamstrung by having to pacify people like me that when they go to their room find their view from the window is a brick wall of a recently built extention. IMHO rooms like this should either be used as admin or offered in advance at a cheaper rate. Informing the customer who arrived in the evening that they've nothing better is poor practice, which i expect better from a IHG hotel.
