This hotel is very dated. The room is very old and decor is old-fashioned. It was very clean though. The breakfast in the morning was actually very poor. However all staff were lovely.

Lovely hotel, stayed on the 6th floor and the room was good value. Needed an extra duvet and late check out and the reception staff happily arranged. Had a view of the lake below ...Breakfast was free and they had a selection of hot and cold items. They had a microwave for guests to use which was really handy if you were travelling alone and didnt want to go out. My TV remote didnt work...and the TV looked like something i owned in the 90's but it was fine...Could do with a refurb but still good value for money. My room was really clean and im really fussy Would definitely stay again.

Met all expectations for this level of property. You know what you get with a holiday inn, and this didn't disappoint. Plenty of options at breakfast, including gluten free (just ask). Negative was no alternative milk varieties.
