Good value stay
I booked last minute and found the room rate very competitive. Very good hotel facilities with gym spa and pool which all worked and well maintained. I was near a noisy double doors stairs which wasnt so great when it constantly noisily opens and closes. Maybe needs a soft close!

Friendly welcome, lovely staff.
Stayed here a few times now - always a warm, friendly welcome. Staff are attentive and you always feel looked after. Basic but clean room with decent amount of space. Breakfast is lovely with a very good selection of hot and cold options.

Sue, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel has declined in my opinion
I'll start with the good parts - Good Valentine's Day set up upon arrival with free wine soft drinks sweets and chocolate given out. Bad parts - arrived after 2pm room wasn't ready had to wait around for 20 minutes. Bad set up in twin room one of the beds had an interconnecting door behind it meaning you had a door handle to bang your head on if you sat up in bed. Worst beds I have ever experienced in a holiday inn very old with lumpy mattress. Ordered room service not very hot and not everything arrived. Was not asked on check out how my stay was I feel like the standards at this particular HI have really declined since my last visit in September. Maybe that's why they don't ask how your stay was when checking out anymore.
