Handy location - reasonable price

I attended a race meeting at Croft circuit. Booked one night in Holiday Inn. About 15mins from the track. It's right on the A1(M) at Scotch Corner. Room was smallish, but reasonable price. Bath has wall shower and handheld. No separate shower. Shampoo etc. provided. The bar is ok, although not so cosy. Shuts at 11pm sharp. Village nearby has a pub. You'll find it if you fancy eating out.

Great hotel for a pit stop

A great hotel for a comfortable and friendly place to stay. It’s not fancy, and a little tired in places, but it’s super clean, the beds are great and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of parking - just remember to put your reg in at reception. Overall a good pit stop

I wouldn’t book again.

My husband and I stayed with our two kids. We booked the family executive suite, however there was a ‘king’ bed which was supposed to be for three people. It was only sufficient for two to sleep comfortably. The pull out sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. We asked for a second one of these however we were advised they couldn’t provide us with one due to health and safety. There was ample space in the room for a second pull out bed. I wouldn’t stay here again. At breakfast the service was very slow. There was no milk, then no hot water. By the time that was sorted it was almost time for us to check out.

Quick stop over on way to Birmingham. I arrived 21:30. no food available. Not a problem, walked over to services to get KFC. Room 001 was okay if bed a bit hard, but was right next to main plant room so continuous humming and thrumming and noise throughout the night. Should be a store room not a bedroom in my opinion. Mentioned it at reception, got a "oh dear, sorry about that, have a nice day".
