Spent 1 x night @ hotel and no complaints whatsoever, dont normally write review for UK hotels but something made me want to say this is certainly one of the better HI hotels I've stayed in. I was there on a subsidised rate for the UK cyclo cross championships, so was even more pleased at the £50 I paid inc including a superb breakfast. Would certainly use the hotel again in the future

Staff friendly and good location. good spot to stay over for a night

Get what you pay for and this Holiday Inn is one of the more dated properties in the portfolio. Fine for a one night stay but you don;t get any luxurious feel. Then again, I paid £65 a night so xcellent value.

Nice, slick reception service and a faultless stay throughout.

As a platinum Priority Club member, I was upgraded to an executive room. The usual bug bear is that of the bed head wall needing a thorough dusting. The fact that it's painted orange and lit by down lighters gives the game away and freaks asthmatics such as myself.

Food in the restaurant is average and prices suggesting a better standard. I was given a voucher for free dessert and coffee which made up for it. My curry and rice arrived in the blink of an eye - those commercial microwaves are mighty powerful!! My main gripe is the total lack of atmosphere in the dining room. A soulless collection of tables and chair with (when I was there) 5 lone diners. At one point there were more staff than guests. Note to manager: nothing worse than having dinner setting taken away and breakfast set up when only just gone 8am. Makes me feel unwelcome.

But excellent prices and would use again.
