Stay in hotels all over the UK amd this stay at the Holiday inn express was faultless. Spent two nights there amd ticked all the boxes needed for our time there, including helo with parking which was a short walk from hotel and very cheap (think was £12 for two nights). Parking or nearby, decent bar, food nice, and spotless rooms that's all I ask for lol
