Disliked: Room comfort
The beds are not the usual Holiday Inn Express size, they're 4ft 6, which is tight for most couples. The windows also really need replacing, they don't really prevent any noise being heard from outside, which is ridiculous in a hotel a few yards from a 70mph carriageway. There is also no lift, so do be careful booking here if you're not able to lug your suitcase up a flight of stairs! There is only 2 good things about this hotel, the breakfast is a much better standard than most Holiday Inn Express breakfasts, and the staff really do provide world class customer service. I've stayed in a huge amount of hotels over the years and the staff at this hotel are the 2nd best I've ever experienced in my life. They really deserve a better hotel to work with, I hope IHG give them it before they lose some of their very best staff and some customers too.
