I found the staff very helpful and the room was clean and the bathroom facilities very clean. The manager Alex interduced himself to all the guest and wished us a good stay and offered himself to deal with any problems we might come across. we have stayed at this hotel a few times in the past and have already booked again in August and look forward to a happy stay again. Thank You Holiday Inn for such a pleasant stay.

Feels a little tired

Conveniently located, being close to the M5 and a quick drive into the city centre. Hotel is fine for a one night stay but lacks any facilities beyond the basic and feels a little tired. The double beds are small and not particularly comfortable and one pillow per person is insufficient, so had to ask for additional pillows. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the check-in and check-out process were efficient.
