Pros +
- There was everything there and the staff were lovely and very helpful
- We only stayed for one night, but everything was as expected. The staff were friendly and welcoming, especially as we arrived quite late. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay.
- Nice hotel with good breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Cons -
- Nothing that comes to mind
- If travelling with kids, the pool needs to pre-booked. You can only book for 30min, but stay longer if it's not busy.
- OK: brace yourselves: The key card did not work twice so twice I had to go back to reception and it was a bit of a trek. Entering the corridor, there was an empty beer (pint) glass on the floor - there when I arrived, there when I left. I ate dinner there which was tasty and nicely presented. But when I looked up, the Waiter (quite sweet), was standing the other side of the hotel trying to gain my attention with two up-turned thumbs - signing 'Is your meal ok?' I signed back 'good' but asked him to come. When I requested a jug of water as I tended to drink a few glasses throughout a meal, he answer was flooring in a hotel! It was 'Oh yes, when I was at Uni', I used to have to drink loads because I was so hung-over all the time.' Well, there you go.......

Friendly staff Every time , easy safe and warm. Free carpark ,
The room was very standard and uninspiring, but fine. Clean and tidy and comfortable.

Clean n fresh looking, lovely rooms restaurant on site as well as amenities close by. Also gym and swimming on site never used this time but definitely would in the future, plenty of on site parking.
Couldn't connect to internet if there was a pass code there wasn't one displayed in the room.
Breakfast
tv in the room did not work properly, issue with the cable for the signal, not very modern, no internet tv
Great pool and gym facilities.Very attentive staff in the restaurant
The sofa bed is not suitable for adults
Staff position parking and being very pet friendly made this an excellent place to stay over to meet up with family.
Nothing not to like.
Easy to access and park super friendly staff
Breakfast was amazing! Plenty of choices and all hot food well prepared and really hot
Motorway adjacent so easy to find but you can hear the motorway. Friendly and helpful reception. Good lunch provided for conference attendees.
The bathroom needs a bit of cosmetic attention and soundproofing from the hallway could be better.
beds were comfy, room was clean and staff on reception v. helpful & friendly when i asked anythinglate checkout was accepted
staff member unsure of how to check us in/ seemed new and muddledin pool - couple were engaging in heavy petting - staff intervened after rather too long - i was SO looking forward to the pool and it was my main reason to choose this hotel (we know the area and were moving house)My daughter was with me (9) so needs appropriate family surroundingsIn pool I looked forward to jacuzzi but the very moment I got in (we'd been moving house all day), member of team decided to come and scrub sides of jacuzzi - quite weird and not very relaxing for me, seemed quite inappropriate as could have been done at a time when empty. Also worried me in terms of cleanlines and prximity of me to 'flying scrubbings' from pool tiles.In our room - wondow has foam filler around it/ next to my daughters bed - this was draughty and could hear trafficRoom service - we were looking forward to a rare treat!unfortunately spoilt by:- salads made with lettuce that was going brownbreakfast - I had to go to reception to answer a message about timings/ Couldn't get through on internal or ext phone to say what time we wanted it so had to get up earlier than i wanted(really wanted a lie in)food quality:terrible sausages - deep fried?scrambled eggs were inedible ..so basically was charged 16 quid to eat cereal and toast with no buttershower - inadequate screening led to water everywhere in bathroom - quite dangerous for daughterhad to run items back to car late in the eveningdidn't feel very safesome quite scarey folks hanging out at smoking points next to doors to car park
Breakfast and evening meal goodbedroom ok
happy
The pool, late check in
It was great - breakfast croissant was not pleasant
The hotel was great, pool nice and clean, room was clean , very friendly place, lovely food too
Sofa bed mattress needed a topper as could feel the springs
Hotel and room clean. Bed comfortable, Staff happy and helpful and breakfast excellent.
Located close to motorway. Car parking adequate. Clean comfortable rooms. Very friendly staff who were all very helpful.Bar and restaurant as expected of Holiday Inns. Good breakfast.Also able to get the type of pillow you require in lieu of standard. We asked for soft, and they were much more to what we have at home.
Did hear a bit of noisy cars visiting nearby garage during late evening and early morning.Not the hotels fault it's cars with noisy exhaust systems.
The hotel was easy to find, clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The pool was also very clean and the chap behind the desk was welcoming and friendly.
Very long wait for food in a nearly empty restaurant (we actually ended up taking it to our room due to tired children). Food was not great quality unfortunately.
The shower was powerful, the food in restaurant was of enormous quantity and very tasty. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. Main bed in the family room was super comfy, the sofa bed mattress was a little thin and a bit too soft.
The pillows were a little over stuffed.
