Not a bad place to stop.

Only let down was the breakfast. I thought it was an English breakfast! then I soon found out it was only 3 hot items.... beans, sausage and scrambled egg.
The Beans were ok. The sausage were the poor quality ones I cannot eat. and the egg looked as if it had been there for hours. I thought I'd ask someone about the egg but yes you guessed it no one to ask for 20mins.
On checking out I thought the guy would ask if my stay was ok. NOPE he did not just Thanks.

Will be looking else where next time 2/10

This hotel is situated a couple of minutes walk from Stoke's Britannia stadium so would be perfect for any travellers looking to stay over and catch a match. We were there for Alton Towers and the drive from this Holiday Inn isn't too bad, don't remember exactly but I think it was around 45mins. There's plenty of free parking outside the hotel which is also great. Food wise there's a Harvester's just across the car park but nothing else close by.

The receptionist explained things clearly regarding room and breakfast arrangements. Our room was adequate size, standard Holiday Inn sizes if you've ever been stayed in one before. The beds were of a good size and very pleasing for my girlfriend as she liked that they were very bouncy but also firm and rates them 5 stars for that lol.

Breakfast was generally good although lacking in variety, full english was fine. All in all we had a decent stay here which did the job for offering a good nights rest and breakfast. Good value and location + parking.

Reasonably priced modern hotel which included an excellent buffet breakfast. Near Stoke football ground and A50, so do not expect any views but staff were friendly, room quiet, an excellent inexpensive Harvester across the car park for evening meal (full of locals which is always a good sign - go early, it gets very busy). Would definitely recommend this hotel for any business trip or overnight stop. Whole experience was better than we expected and would definitely use this chain/franchise again.

Its a Holiday Inn - what do you expect.

I assume all Express outlets dont have restaurants. There is a Harvester nearby, but thats it. and unless you want burger or ribs - thats about it.
Free wireless in the main foyet / bar area. but not free in your rooms - dont understand the logic, other than add-ons...
breakfast was pretty awful. But it is Holiday Inn.

Rooms were fine. no iron. apart from that. i slept ok
