The hotel and our room were very clean but extremely tired. Staff were very helpful but I would only rate as average compared to other Holiday Inn Express we have used. Breakfast was poor with very dry scrambled egg, a coffee machine which refused to make anything that resembled coffee and a toaster which don’t toast!
