My 3rd stay with Holiday Inn this year always good

The staff were all lovely, friendly and accommodating. I was travelling alone so this helped to make me feel relaxed. My room was clean and tidy. A couple of minor things that affected my overall comfort, were that I couldn't fully close the window, so late into the night could hear the noise from people on the street (weekend revellers). Also, I couldn't get the bedside light to stay on independantly from the light in the doorway. I was only there for one night, but if I had been staying longer I would have spoken to the staff to ask what I was doing wrong. Breakfast was great. Lots of choice, plentiful, and very tasty.

Everything spot on except wet room which was more like a lake by the time two of us had a shower. Drainage needs checking. Breakfast first class as always in Holiday Inn and staff extremely pleasant and friendly.

Great stay at the Holiday Inn in Glasgow, perfect location for shopping and entertainment and walking distance from the major transport links. Hotel staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, super fast check in, and eggs and veggie sausage cooked to order at breakfast. Room was a good size for a single person - standard room is a double bed but in the space for a king size so a slight distance away from the bedside tables, but all very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location

The furnishing was laid out well. I didn't feel cramped moving about. As with other Holiday Inn's I've stayed, this one was also clean and well maintained. It's location (very short walking distance to bus station, train station, restaurants, and shopping) was ideal.
