I booked 1 night's stay for a friend through hotels.com and paid 42 pounds upfront for a double bed with a seating sofa. Check in took no more than 1 minute, I was offered complimentary internet in room as they run a trial, although we did not have chance to use the computer. Decent decor, neat and good locking system, two set of towels and soap, body wash in room. Very comfortable bed, choice of soft and hard pillows. Our window was sealed with face tissues or toilet paper! Although we felt the draft come in and the traffic noise. In the morning, breakfast staff seemed a bit lost or slow, although trays were collected promptly. Very nice bread rolls and scrambled eggs, choice of fruits, yoghurts, beverages and juices. Decent dining area, full of daylight. On checking out I threw the room key onto unattended reception desk. No thank you or goodbye therefore I rate this property average. Possibly 42 pounds include only shower, bed, tv and breakfast. It is a good place to stay, I wish front desk staff were present at all times and more enthusiastic when interacting with paying guests.

We stayed here on 7 Jan 2012 to see Lion King in London returing to Sheffield on 8 Jan 2012. Two rooms, 3 people £29 each room including parking, breakfast and free Independent Newspaper). Rooms were very clean, large TV, comfy bed, no noise - typical overnight room - bathrooms clean. Slight problem with one of the room keys but sorted. Would definitely stay again for weekend in London. Although not close to tube, we drove to Walthamstowe Central 10 mins - parked in mall car park (£5) and got off peak day tube zone 1-4 for £7.50 each - approx 30 mins into London from there by tube - no hassle.

I stayed at this hotel with work in September & October.

The first stay got cancelled at around 10pm due to the job being cancelled the next day so I didn’t really experience the room that much. However while I was in there, there were a group of young guys who had decided to park their car at the back of the hotel – which was the bottom of the Sainsbury’s car park, and proceed to blast their music. I was going to complain to the hotel, but they left just before 10pm. But beware of this if you stay on the weekend. The second stay was a lot quieter.

The room is your standard Holiday Inn room – spacious, choice of pillows etc and were clean.

The one thing I would say about all Holiday Inn rooms are that they are too dark. With all of the lights on it feels very dark still, like you have missed a switch to turn all of the lights on.

Breakfast was okay, but tiny tiny serving area which got clogged up very easily and it wasn’t even busy at the time, so I imagine this is a nightmare if it is peak time.

We stay here once a year to visit family. Clean & basic but better than a travelodge. Have never had a problem with noise here whatever room we have been given. This time we over looked Sainsbury's car park at the rear and had no noise problem at all. Lots of parking. It's fine for a one or two night stay but too basic for a long stay.
