To be honest was my first stay in a holiday inn which was a bit poor....on arriving key cards were not working .then took 35mins to get taken to our rooms....the rooms were extremely hot even tho the aircon was on full cold and was very noisy... asked for a 2pm check which was denied alao ....so i would definitely not stay this hotel again....also breakfast was very ordinary on this occasion and for the huge price of it not worth it

After spending 1 night in the room that we originally got and due to some issues with room and cleanliness, I requested at the reception if our room could be changed. The staff member at the reception, by the name of Tiana, was very apologetic and straightaway offered to change our room and gave us an upgrade as we were still going to be spending 2 more nights. That was a very kind gesture from the hotel group. This was our first time at the Holiday Inn, as we always book Premier Inn. But Tiana saved me from not booking Holiday Inn again! Thank you so much.

A Truly Amazing and Unforgettable Stay! My recent stay at the Holiday Inn was absolutely amazing, thanks in large part to their exceptional staff. We were there to celebrate a very special occasion: our anniversary and our daughter's birthday. From the moment we arrived, we were met with incredible hospitality. The front desk staff, especially Cristina, was so friendly and welcoming. We were celebrating a double milestone, and Cristina had clearly listened to the notes provided. To our complete and lovely surprise, we found a few treats left in our room for the occasion. This unexpected and thoughtful gesture truly made our stay feel special and personalized. The staff at this hotel are truly outstanding, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable and warm experience. We can't wait to come back!

I was expecting a standard hotel but was very surprised by how much I enjoyed staying here. Apart from being clean, having parking on site and lovely restaurant, the staff made the trip! The young man on reception (I wish I remembered his name) was just lovely! Very friendly and helpful and kind. He took time to talk to me and make me feel so much better after my very long day at work. The waitresses in the restaurant were also really lovely. Helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

Hidden charges and poor search criteria in the app

I am disappointed that; 1. Hidden charge for the parking £15 overnight, when I specifically searched for free parking. 2. The only other reason I chose this pool was because it had a pool, which has significant restrictions such as adult only swimming, not mentioned using the app, which meant we couldn’t use it In essence the only two specific criteria searched for are failures and actually incorrect.

The hotel was lovely, nice restaurant and breakfast was great. Really lovely, friendly staff. Plenty of shops around. Only downfall is that I thought the hotel cost included the parking, however this was an extra £15 per day.
