Room a bit rundown and not a good lighting. Needs to be refurbished. Hand and body soap smells to vinagre. Breakfast quality needs to improve. Just one type of bread. Very poor breakfast. Sausages reheated probably from previous days.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at this Holiday Inn. The room had a noticeable smell of mould, particularly in the bathroom, and I woke up with a chesty cough, which was concerning. Check-in felt very hit and miss, and the hotel felt uncomfortably warm overall. I was also surprised to be charged £7 for parking as a hotel guest — it feels unreasonable to pay extra just to park. On top of that, there was a constant clicking noise coming from the headboard throughout the night, which woke me up and made it difficult to sleep. Overall, it really wasn’t the best night’s stay, and not what I would expect from a Holiday Inn.

The rooms here are very worn and need a good deep clean. The staff tried their best but were clearly understaffed during the busy holiday period.
This is in our room.  Needed a deep clean at the very least.
This is the general condition of the hotel.
