Great hotel at good location, getting a bit outdated, and cleaning could be better. Also, went to the bar, and they told me they did not service cocktails. This was at a saturday evening, went out with a double rum in i glass and a can of coke to finish my own cuba libre in the room

Hard to get to gotel as NO car access, hotels.com said parking available but not no partking on site. This is 110% terible fkr disabled guests. Makes the non refundable stay gauling and awkward. When it says parking it should not srate availabe but "3rd party parking located x min walk away" and the rate. Hotel itself was as expaected in every way.

Stayed for a week, having stayed in this hotel previously. Each time I stay here I'm impressed with the reception staff and how friendly they are. Alas I booked this hotel in advance on a refundable rate (paying more) but that doesn't entitle you to breakfast, but booking a non refundable cheaper rate does. The rooms are clean and tidy but need a bit of attention to minor repairs or dilapidation, I think the hotel is maybe 7 years old? Needs a bit of a touch up. The gym is probably the best gym I've seen for a hotel though!

The hotel is very nice and comfortable with good facilities. However the staff let it down especially in the bar/ restaurant section. Simple cocktails can’t be made even if they have the ingredients on hand and no willingness to listen to suggestions.

The room was in a state of neglect. The furniture showed clear signs of age and wear, with visible stains that were off-putting. The safe was unusable due to battery leakage that had damaged its housing. Even the desk chair had its upholstery worn through. For the breakfast service: the staff seemed poorly trained. On one occasion, my coffee was removed while I stepped away to get a pastry. On Saturday morning, despite numerous empty tables, I was left waiting for 10 minutes to be seated.

No opening windows & the aircon range only goes down to 18cels, so won't book this place when it's hot. Terrible knobbly pokey springs mattress on bed. Asked for a mattress topper, said they'd send one up but didn't. Textbook apology in the morning. Nice breakfast, almost as nice as across the road, bit cramped on its layout. Quiet hotel, good situation, exceeded expectations for a middle of the range budget hotel.

The room was entry-level but spacious, quiet, and spotlessly clean, with plenty of surfaces for placing belongings. The refurbished bathrooms, complete with an illuminated powder/shaving mirror, are a thoughtful touch. At £170 for a Friday night with breakfast included, the price sits just above budget price. Well, it does for my pocket. Breakfast was generally good. The cooked options were better than average, though the continental spread of meats and cheeses didn’t quite match what the menu promised. A few listed items were missing from the buffet, which has been a recurring issue in my previous stays at this hotel. The beds use standard hard platform bases with commercial mattresses, which tend to be the hotel’s weak point. That said, the mattress during this stay was more comfortable than usual, making for a reasonable night’s sleep.

The room was clean and spacious for 3 with a lovely bathroom and extras like dressing gown slippers tea/ coffee , unfortunately our tv did not work , they tried to fix it but resulted in limited channels . The position of the room was terrible , I know this can’t be helped but it was right next to the lifts meaning you could hear everyone coming out the lift and people gathering to go in in the lift and everyone having to walk past the room constant noise resulting in disturbed sleep through the night and again in the morning . Would stay again but avoid the room .

Generally the hotel environment was fine, but the front desk counter staff (particularly the makes) were terribly rude in all my years and high number of hotel stays! A asian male staff was rude with a very bad attitude right from the onstart of our checking into the hotel, and after our 6 nights stay we were chided and told off on a phone call from another male employee claiming that we have overstayed without checking the facts on their system that we have fully paid for our bookings months ago! It was an unpleasant stay greeted by such bad attitudes from the faces representing the hotel, it's disappointing that the staffs at Holiday Inn are so poorly trained in their customer service! In addition the hotel room was quite a disgrace to provide broken furnitures to their guests. We were surprised to be see the condition we saw.

A lovely hotel ruined by terrible customer service. Checking in was terrible and slow, only one person on the desk at around 7pm with a HUGE queue of people waiting. The check in took so long it almost made us late to our event, so caused a lot of inconvenience and stress. Even when another guest complained about the lack of service and the wait time, the person on the desk (Mia, I think it was) barely even acknowledged the complaint and couldn’t have cared less when she finally appeared to support the other, only poor guy on the desk. Hotel in general and breakfast was good though. A potentially great hotel discredited by extremely poor check in. If you book here, make sure you have plenty of extra time to book in.
