We arrived just after dinner service on a Sunday evening, but were told that they do pizza 24hours. So we ordered one, 45 minutes later it still hasn't arrived. The lovely receptionist sorted it out for us immediately and gave us complementary drinks. It's how people handle the problems that count!

As a Platinum member I stay in Holiday Inn's regularly & there can be some really big variances in quality. This is a good one. I stayed here with 15 customers, before heading off to Spain on an incentive trip. Hotel manger was very helpful regarding parking & allowed me to earn points on all the rooms, which was very...

My Husband and I stayed here before an early flight the following morning. Rooms are the standard type that you would expect from any budget hotel chain. The buffet breakfast offered was adequate. We would definately stay again but would probably give the evening meal a miss. Although very tasty we found it rather pricey for what it was.

The room was a good size with a double bed and all usual facilities with a comfortable sofa to watch a large TV. It was tastefully decorated and the shower room (no bath) was very clean.
