Reasonable hotel for the price. Ideal location for what my needs were. Rooms could be doing with a revamp, carpets stained and paintwork tarnished. Overall as long as you don't have high standards you'll be fine.

The only thing missing from the breakfast offering was pineapple! But overall we were very impressed with our first stay in a UK Holiday Inn, from the warm welcome at reception and the exceptionally clean room (nice touch was the handwritten welcome note on the bedside cabinet) to the standard of meals at dinner and the overall feel of the hotel. We will definitely return
