    Adequate accommodation for overnight stay.

    • Standard Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Having to pay for the car park even though it was discounted. The fact my request for a certain type of room was not acknowledged and I had to ask to be moved. The fact that one bed was pushed against a wall when there was plenty of room to move away. The continental breakfast was lacking in choice - better selection of pastries etc would be acceptable.

    On arrival we were not allocated the room I had requested, but this was swiftly rectified. Room and facilities adequate for an over night stay. Breakfast was adequate. Close proximity to car park and centre. Comfortable bed.

    Hotel was extremely busy on my final night (Saturday) and unfortunately this meant it was pretty noisy on my floor (1st) until late into the night. I was disappointed that a large group had been allowed to take over the bar area for some kind of club event, which precluded any other paying guests making use of the space. As a woman travelling alone, I would also have felt safer if the hotel stopped people without key cards from accessing the floors containing the accommodation.

    Easy check-in process. Decent breakfast included. Good sized room, which was clean and everything worked. Praise to the weekend breakfast staff, who kept things running smoothly despite it being very busy.

    First room given to us smelt like stale cigarettes - we asked for another room which was provided. Noisy traffic, suggest you ask for a room not facing teh road.

    Great location, 1 minutes walk to the brewery quarter with all it's pubs and eating places. Good breakfast.

    Paying for parking in the NCP carpark across the road...there were issues with the ticketing and payment which was not the fault of IHG. Thankfully, IHG reception staff validated our parking ticket so we received a discount.

    True to IHG standard, the room was as we expected: clean, well appointed, comfortable bed, spacious, free wifi. The breakfast was very good, well stocked and good coffee. The location was very handy to our needs.

    Breakfast time is a really chaotic. All staff are in the kitchen only coming out to refill food. No staff outside the dining area to attend to guest needs and clear tables. Guests ends up eating in tables with used plates in them. It ends up breakfast is taking longer as having to wait for tables to get cleared. We have stayed at other holiday inn which has at least 2 staff in dining area to direct guest where to sit and to clear tables. More efficient and comfortable that way

    good location close to restaurants and shops. High street is just a minute away. Parking is also across the hotel plus discount is provided. Clean room.

    The parking is not free. Although you get a discount for the parking it is not free. The quality of the breakfast was not great, e.g. scrambled eggs were quite questionable! However, it was very busy so staff were doing their best.

    Comfortable room, with nice bathroom conveniently near to centre of town. Staff friendly and helpful.

    Facilities in the room broken . Having multiple visits to the reception to sort things out as we were all tired. Didnt sleep well because of the noise.

    Booked two rooms as staying with older children and advertised as having a swimming pool Found out the pool was at a local fitness centre and we could not use it after 5. The tv in our room didnt work so they moved us to a connecting room which was better but then the AC/ heating didnt work in that roo. We stayed though as too much hassle to move again and we were all tired. Went into the bar but no beer on draft except Corona. Pool table was busy but we got a game in about 10pm. Didnt sleep well , hotel on a very busy junction with roadworks. Breakfast was lovely though and they let us check out at 1 so we could use the pool ( it opens at 2). They had checked us out at 10 so we couldnt get back into our room even though our bags were there but they sorted it eventually.Good location for the shops etc .
