My wife and I stayed a Saturday night on points and selected this hotel specifically because we wanted good leisure facilities. We were not dissapointed. The Spirit fitness centre is free to hotel guests, the pool is excellent with whirlpool and sauna. The gym is extensive and very well equiped and everything was very clean and nice.

The hotel is a reasonable Holiday Inn and better than many I have stayed in, in this country, as they can be extremely variable. The rooms are not big but clean and nice and breakfast was excellent although expensive. There is an excellent pub within walking distance with outstanding food and so no need to eat in the hotel. The only downside was that the air conditioning was broken and it was hot to say the least.

The rack rate is ridiculous and even discounted, the hotel is not cheap, and I would be reluctant to pay this for a normal stay when the leisure facilities might not be used so much.

This hotel is OK but begs the question what is the point of paying Holiday Inn prices compared to an Express or Travel Inn? It is a charmless motel and let’s face it most guests don’t have time for the pool. Check in was fine and they have luggage trolleys to help. Mine and my colleague’s rooms had sofa beds made up in them – why when we were single business travellers! They were quite quick at taking them down when asked. The rooms are ok – but bland and dated, at least they have a duvet. Breakfast was fine, not great. One nice touch – board games in the lobby which were fun.
Overall, this place is Ok but rather overpriced – for the money it needs to offer more panache.

Stayed here at one-night Autumn break rate. Executive room with breakfast was good value but I would certainly not pay the extortionate rack rate, whether on business or leisure!

Quiet, well furnished room with compact modern bathroom.

Lounge bar did good food and restaurant service at breakfast was friendly and efficient.

Very convenient for M5 motorway without traffic noise.

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past five years. The rooms are compact and you get the same sized room whether you stay in an executive or a standard room, the bathrooms are small, and most I have stayed in have been clean.
Fridges are only available in the executive rooms.
The hotel has absolutely no atmosphere at all; lounge area furniture is uncomfortable and adds to the lack of atmosphere.
Food in the restaurant is over priced and not great, the bar food is good, the service at the bar can be hit and miss depending who is on duty.
The breakfast is a delight and is certainly a reason why I keep going back to this hotel, although very expensive.
It is right next to the motorway, you can’t get lost finding it, within walking distance there is a bar with good food and half the price you would pay at the hotel for somewhat mundane food.

The pool area is fine and clean.
