Holiday Inn… great weekend stay

Very friendly welcome and a quick and easy check in. Comfortable modern bar area. Breakfast had a great choice available and was very good. All staff very friendly. Our room was a good size, clean and comfortable. Only fault was the shower hardly had any pressure and you barely got wet! But would highly recommend all in all.

Smelly room

The room smelt of damp and there was mould in the bathroom probably because the extractor fan didn’t work. The bar and restaurant and staff were all good.

No compassion from Hotel Management!!!!

Just received an email from the hotel asking how my stay was - unfortunately we could not make the trip due to a family emergency and it seems that the Hotel Manager had 0% compassion as they refused to refund the stay for the unused room or even offer a credit in lieu for a future stay. Therefore I would not recommend this hotel and have rated it accordingly. It doesn’t take much to keep a loyal customer happy, especially in a time of need, so sadly I will have to avoid this chain in the future and spend my money elsewhere.

Going downhill.

There comes a time when complacency should never be a factor at a hotel but it appears if you stay too much in one place, that’s exactly what happens. The service becomes poorer, the rooms you’re given become worse and the conditions of the hotel worsen. Top that with a member of staff actually arguing at your table and the manager refusing to address that issue, means it’s time to check out and cancel your future bookings.

Was ok

Room was comfortable but very basic. Took long time to check in. We ate dinner in the hotel - 2 courses for 3 people took over 3 hours! Not great food and took AGES and no one around to ask so had to go looking for staff - wouldn't advise eating dinner here but breakfast was ok!

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was fantastic with a good choice. The only down side was the bedroom, it was clean but the bed was in poor condition and had a rip in the material.
