Really happy with our stay, we only stayed one night as part of a long journey but I knew booking a Holiday Inn Express would be worth it. Very reasonably priced, great comfortable room, hot shower and nice breakfast in the morning.

Lovely, well-presented hotel with very friendly, helpful staff. Evening food was VERY expensive and breakfast was a buffet, but not a great selection. No plug sockets anywhere near the bed. Even just a USB each side would have been handy!

Lady at front desk was helpful in changing our room to a pet free room, which was a good start, hotel generally well cleaned, however room had dust build up in areas where the hoover seems to just miss regularly. Dinner and Breakfast is a no go area if you require anything fresh due to any dietary requirements as the general answer is its all pre-made and the chef can't do anything else, so you have to make do with what is given.
