Breakfast information miss-reading?

On Monday, we were told that buffer breakfast is available from 06:30 to 09:30. We went for breakfast at 08:30 only to find no sausages, no eggs and a few bacon and a few things we’re running out. When asked if there was any more, we were told it’s in the oven. We waited for 20minutes, only a few items were brought.No apologies, to me that was a poor service and misreading information (0930 ?). Several people missed the cooked breakfast

Great stay, helpful staff and brilliant location

We stayed here as a family (myself, my husband and our 14-year-old son) and found the Holiday Inn Express in Hamilton to be a great base for exploring the area. It’s perfectly situated for a short 20-minute drive into Glasgow, with lots of amenities nearby including shops, a Vue cinema, Asda, restaurants and even a driving range – all within walking distance. The girls on reception were especially lovely and helpful, offering great suggestions for days out – a special thanks to Ester and Edith(?) for going above and beyond! The room was clean and exactly what you’d expect from a Holiday Inn. We booked a family room, which was ideal overall, although the main bed was a bit on the small side (a standard double, but it felt smaller). We asked about upgrading to a king-size, but unfortunately those rooms are only set up for couples and don’t accommodate the sofa bed. Breakfast was included, which was really handy for starting the day and there was a good enough selection to keep everyone happy. Another bonus was the free parking. The hotel shares a car park with nearby shops and the cinema, but guests can register their number plate at reception to park for free, which was really convenient. While the bed size wasn’t ideal for us in a family room setup, the friendly service and excellent location made it a convenient and pleasant stay.

Loved it for 2 nights in room 217. The reception staff couldn’t have been more helpful as I decided to extend my stay. I was checked in by a lovely lady who helped me join the IHG club and explained everything in great detail. I needed to change room however so Tatiana (reception) booked me a room on the same floor in order that it was an easy change. It was also an empty room so I could just check in at 10am instead of needing to move out and check back in at 3pm. The breakfast staff were really attentive and the breakfast was so tasty and a great variety of products. The cleaning staff were approachable and friendly too. I really enjoyed my stay hence the reason that I extended it.

Fantastic staff

The staff were amazing . Going above and beyond on everything. Special thank you to Liz , Esther and Ekky they tried to help when our cab did not come to collect us to take us to a wedding. They were trying to arrange their cars to take us without us asking ! I am also celiac and I was very happy with the selection of breakfast items I could have and that they toasted the bread for me separately in the kitchen. The only thing we did not like was the lack of seats in our queen room to relax on. A big thanks to all the staff for making our weekend special.

Despite asking for a quiet room, ended up with one overlooking the roundabout, extremely noisy. Room very poorly lit. Room very warm as no A/C, could only open window which resulted in listening to the trucks thundering past. Bathroom extractor not working.
