Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by paulgd05 Not up to expectations
I booked in to this hotel for 3 nights and left after 1. I book Holiday Inns for more comfort then most hotels. On arrival the hotel looks nice and well presented, but this did not carry on through the hotel. The carpets are thread bear on the stairs, the rooms are what you would expect from an under invested independent hotel in the 90's not a Holiday Inn! The room looked very worn with cracks in the sink, faulty air-con ((wouldn't normally be a problem but with a room on the roadside it was to loud to open the windows) and a window that rattled. I was able to hear the TV next door which was good as mine wasn't up to much, dodgy remote and poor signal. Very slow internet, which when staying away for business you need to be able to work.
I thought the staff would ask why I was leaving when I checked out 2 days early but nothing was said and they didn't ask anything about my stay.
I use this chain a lot but will not be back here again.

We came here for a swimming competition. We were upgraded to a suite which was amazing. It was also extremely quiet which is exactly what we needed. The staff here are fantastic. We ate in the restaurant both nights and had breakfast. The food was all really nice. We have stayed here before and are always very happy. See you soon!

We have stayed here many times when up this way visiting family and have always had a great stay. If any one should be picked out is the night porter " Peter " who is always smiling happy to have a chat and help out with any needs you may have.

Make sure never visit the hotel as basic needs are not available and the hotel is shabby and very old not up to standards.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Milky27 Time for a facelift
Food excellent. Staff really helpful and could not do anything more to help. But it's time for a refit. This hotel is starting to show its age.
The room (019) was looking tired. Bathroom fittings were worn. 1980's feel to the room and furniture. Bed was comfortable but everything else in the room was showing the signs of age. Scuff marks on the walls, doors and furniture.
It was a particularly cold night and the whole hotel felt cold including the room.
The restaurant food was excellent as was the service but the decor really lets the place down.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by brimilne Comfortable stay
We stayed for 2 days for a wedding close by. I had read reviews which made me concerned before I travelled but I am happy to report they were all unfounded. We had 4 rooms in total, 1 executive and 3 standard. The standard rooms numbers were 130, 131 and 132. We had no problems in these rooms whatsoever, furniture was fine and all clean and tidy. Swimming pool was good but a little on the cold side for smaller ones, so we only stayed for 45 minutes. Changing rooms were all clean. Had dinner the first night as part of the package and was excellent. 1 member of the party is a little fussy and we requested if his meal could be ordered off the bar menu, which was not a problem. Great nights sleep the first night, and a very good selection for the buffet breakfast the following day - sausage, bacon, fried and scrambled eggs, fried bread, croissants and pastries, yoghurts, some continental, cereal, toast and jam. If you can't find anything to eat at the buffet then you really are just too fussy!. We were at a wedding all the following day and the staff at the hotel could not be more accommodating in the help they gave us. Again a great nights sleep, as we were later for breakfast the following morning we were given a menu and could order what we would like to be cooked fresh. No continental today but again, cereal, yoghurt, toast etc as above. All in all we had a good stay and would stay here again when visiting family in the area.

We booked an overnight to have early morning access to Rockingham for a driving experience. They had a wedding on so the manageress gave us a room away from the evening event and we didn't hear a sound. Just an extra bit of consideration like that keeps everyone happy. No-one wants to be a misery but than again do you want to lie in bed listening to music blaring out until the small hours?
The swimming pool with spa bath, sauna and steam room make for added relaxation. You don't even have to travel home with soggy swimwear as they have a nifty little spin dryer in the changing rooms.
And don't forget the lovely breakfast served at Holiday Inns. My husband always says it's the best part of the stay.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Romantics2 Overall great service
Our stay was excellent as we were totally relaxed and if we required anything the staff were most helpful. The meals were good and the staff on duty were friendly, talkative and courteous.
The room was everything we wanted the only downside was the traffic noise.
We would definitely stay again as the Hotel has a good greeting foyer and facilities are excellent as well.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Johnnymongo A very dated and overpriced hotel
The hotel was like something from the late eighties early nineties. Very dated in every way, the room was basic to say the least, the shower was like being out in a light shower of rain, the television was certainly from the nineties it most definitely was not a flat screen!
I waited10 minutes at the bar for a drink as there was no one serving, the restaurant was totally overpriced £15 for a very chewey rump steak and £5 for a very average house red wine.
I stay at Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express most of the time and this was the worst I've stayed at. 3/10

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Hmmm Disappointing
I booked a room at this hotel via the Priority Club website after I received an email promoting a "Stay and celebrate" package which offered dinner, bed and breakfast including a bottle of sparkling wine in the room at a discounted rate.
When I got to reception to check in the person on the desk had the booking on their system but nothing about the included extras. She checked with the manager who said he knew nothing about the offer but after I explained what was in the package he agreed to honour it like he was doing me a favour.
The wine was never delivered to my room so I had to ask for it in the restaurant but I was told it wouldn't be sparkling wine and they brought me a bottle of their Spanish house wine. I ordered a steak but it was riddled with gristle and virtually inedible and was probably the worst piece of meat that has ever been served up to me.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Alec59 Great room Food In-edible
Check in fine, complimentary upgrade very welcome. The dining experience has to be ranked the absolute worst in all my stay's in Holiday Inn. The food was in-edible,absolutely disgusting what was eaten had the same taste on every fork full, the sweet was horrid which wasn't helped by cold custard. Discussed this matter with the head waiter, who to be honest didn't seem that interested, but was told because we were staying on a dinner, bed & breakfast rate nothing could be done! When checking out the receptionist asked how the stay had been, I told her about the food and she replied oh dear! Nobody wants to know when something isn't right.
Maybe time now for a change of hotel chain.
