Bed Quality was poor in our room. Breakfast on Sunday morning did not have many things when we went. The staff was very busy and not able to cope. IHG should have put in more staff for breakfast shift on that day, as they already have list in advance of guests who are having breakfast.

the room was nice, bathroom looked like it had recently been refurbished. A fair amount of dogs in the building, not not a nuisance. Location was a short cab away from gunwarf quay. Good value on hotels.com as when i tried to book an extra night they wanted to charge me double the price of hotels.com
