Traveled with family
Check-in was good, staff were pleasant and the process was quick and efficient. The main issue was breakfast. It was extremely overcrowded with nowhere to sit, and the entire buffet was constantly running out of food, not just croissants and juice. Hot items, pastries, and other options were repeatedly empty, making it frustrating to get a proper breakfast. The area felt completely under-resourced for the number of guests being catered for. When a table finally became free, it was wiped down quickly but still left dirty, and the floor was also dirty. Overall, breakfast was very disappointing and let down an otherwise decent stay.

Staff amd location were great however we had a family room for 2 adults and 2 kids. The sofa bed for kids was awful. Far too small and only really for 2 kids under 10. The bed was also on an incline and sloped toward the end. You could also feel every spring below the mattress and dangerous with all the mechanism of the sofa bed exposed. Easy for fingers to be caught.worst hotel sleep I’ve ever had. Breakfast and staff were fabulous shame the room didn’t match

Staff were all lovely and incredibly helpful. I was checked in and served in the bar by a young man whose name I didn't get, but he said he was supporting from the Bedford hotel. He was super helpful despite not being 100% familiar with the hotel and did his best to answer my questions about parking etc.

We had very good sleep at a big, clean and high standard room. Great location for shopping (about 15 mins walk to Bicester Village, outlet shops and garden centre). Breakfast options were good. We are repeat customers happy to come back. There’s one thing that could be improved, 15 mins before our check out time the house keeper knocked and opened our door while I was in the bathroom. I had hung the notice (We are still in sign) on the door and use the inside lock. I have spoken and mentioned it to the receptionist Daniel. He was so helpful. I hope the train their housekeeper better. But in overall, we are happy with this hotel and we will be back.

First time in a Holiday Inn and very impressed! Extremely clean, spacious rooms and great shower! The free breakfast was great as well, better than some hotel breakfasts you pay for. Super convenient for Bicester Village too, literally a 4 min drive. Would look to stay in a Holiday Inn over some of their competitors in the future.
