A visit on the off chance and we found it to be comfortable and reasonably priced. Its not a luxurious hotel, but it isn't priced as one and we'd certainly stay again. We did not use the restaurant, but took breakfast here over our two days stay and found it very acceptable.

A one night stay in this hotel was quite pleasant. The hotel generally is beginning to look a little tired with chipped paint on doors and walls, a few carpet stains, etc. Signs of rust appearing on metal canopy support posts is one of the first things that great you at the main entrance to reception.. That aside, the housekeeping... More

We were a family party having booked 7 rooms for 2 nights. The rooms are very comfortable and pleasant. The staff were extremely helpful. The breakfast was good and the waitress with short grey hair in the restaurant was super, kind, friendly and helpful even under pressure on a very busy Sunday morning. Although we booked about a month in... More

Use holiday inns a lot whilst travelling with work. Have to say this isn't the best I've stayed in. Decor in the corridors and rooms is tired. My toilet ran all night. Breakfast was very, vey expensive £15 and the quality wasn't fantastic. On the plus side the gym is good. Not sure I'd stay again.

Very pleasant hotel. Stayed one night on business and cannot fault anything. Reception staff helpful and polite, and once again room service staff allowed me to order something that was not on the room service menu. Dinner was very good. Room was comfortable and clean.

I can't stress enough how friendly the staff was in this hotel. It was easy to find, located very close to a huge Tesco. Lots of parking spaces available.

The hotel is basically ok, clean, staff are professional rather than friendly (which is not unexpected in a large chain). I imagine it would be good for a wheelchair user with lift platforms & mostly on one level, except for the pool which only has metal ladders. I did find the mattress extremely soft
