As an IHG member and avid traveler I am appalled that this hotel has such high ratings on your app. Beautifully lobby and restaurant area and that’s about it. The corridors look like hospital corridors and smell of must and mold. The rooms are drab. Apparently mine had been recently refurbished but you could never tell due to the old looking bathroom and carpet. The sad looking kettle didn’t work either. Walls are paper thin and doors slam hard so we were woken up at 6am I had booked months in advance for the Oasis show at a time where I could have gone somewhere else but trusted IHG. I cannot believe I paid 1300 for 2 nights for this when I could have had so much better. I feel robbed. This place felt so dirty.

The lobby and restaurant are really nice. The hallway to the rooms is unbelievably terrible. The hallway is dirty and very very worn. The trim around all the doors is scuffed and chipped and the doors are dirty. Our room wasn’t great, the toilet didn’t work properly and there was a set of odd looking keys left in one of the pillowcases….totally weird! The motion light outside our room kept trying to come on at about 3am. Every minute a loud buzz sound would go off. Finally went downstairs to the lobby at 3:30am and told staff. They managed to turn it off about 30min later. At about 6am there was another strange sound. The hotel is beside a zoo and some exotic bird was making some crazy loud whistle sounds. Between all the noises and the keys being inside a pillow case and the toilet it didn’t make for a very enjoyable stay, especially the night before a long haul flight. The wifi also didn’t work in the room. On a positive, the staff was great and the lobby and restaurant were really nice.
