Usual IHG good standards but noisy and hot

The room was clean and the bed comfortable but the aircon didn’t work. Being situated on a very busy junction I asked for a quiet room. The reception staff said it would be quiet compared to others. Goodness knows what the others were like because this one was very noisy. I barely slept because the room was too hot with the window closed and extremely noisy with the window open.

What made our eight day stay so good was the entire staff ,they were excellent, the front office were exceptional as was the restaurant staff and bar staff .Nothing was too much trouble , they went above and beyond every day. To make our visit memorable. The only criticism was the shower , although modern and large the shower floor was very ,very slippery.

I like the area for its quietness despite being closed to a major roundabout used by truckers going into Europe. I hate the fact that uber drivers don’t like picking up from there due to traffic. It is not a walking distance to the stores but shopping mall is a few miles away. It has pay parking for quests, AC frequently malfunctions and it is not guaranteed you will have one in your room. Many of their staff are pleasant to talk to especially the Irish ladies!
