Our stay at the property was a pleasant one. The beds and bathroom were clean but the carpet has noticeable dirt/stains in the room and the chairs in the common area were very dirty. The staff were exceptional and very helpful and kind. Breakfast had a wide variety of choices.

Great value for money and excellent staff. Ali was friendly but efficient when checking us in and kudos to the staff working the breakfast as it was literally a stampede of people, rushing to get their food, pitting croissants in the toaster in spite of the obvious sign saying NOT to…and Russell (staff member) was cool, calm and collected, really friendly and chipper. Everyone worked really hard and the minute something ran out, it was immediately replenished. Great work guys. The rooms are a great size and for the price, it’s really good value for money. Only issue is parking and having to pay £6 per day. If they included this cost in the room, no one would bat an eyelid and it would still be competitively priced.

Could be improved, but decent for a nights stay
Overall good experience but the fittings in the bathroom could use some fixing. The shower head leaked and was not strong enough. Otherwise, we had a great time and it’s what you’d expect from a Holiday Inn Express.

Ok stay .
You know what you get with holiday inn , room clean and tidy , only difference this time was we left breakfast until a bit later ( 9am ) big mistake as it seemed everyone had done the same , staff could not keep up with clearing , getting food out , cutlery , plates etc . Also 1 coffee machine broken and other was on its last legs . But considering what we had paid , and in the scheme of things not worth getting too upset about .

First time in a holiday inn
Nice sized family room, usually they are a bit more cramped. Comfy beds, no noise apart from traffic on A27, nice breakfast including cooked option, although the layout means it gets a bit chaotic at full capacity, so grt in early.Big bathroom with a slightly lack lustre shower. The only thing that I thought a bit off was having to pay £6 to park there, but overall it was still good value for money.
