Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by MAMIL Staff went out of their way
The staff were very friendly and welcolming. I needed an early breakfast and asked whether I could have some cereal and rolls with honey to take back to my room but the night porter opened up the breakfast room for me with a full cold breakfast selection laid out and made me coffee - it really made a difference, thanks very much!
Room was great value at the price quoted and I got a good niights sleep.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by RobC Convenient Location
Good location just off the M1 at Northampton, although there was some road noise it wasn't intrusive.
Room confortable and clean.
Bar area was big but very empty. No atmosphere, which didn't encourage you to want to stay around.
Big negative was the food, which was disappointing. I had Olives and bread as a starter. The bread was OK, but the olives, balsamic and olive oil were not of good quality. I felt that to make up for the poor quality, quantity would improve things. There were dozens of olives and a large pot of olive oil, which only made things worse. I would have been far happier with a few good quality olives and a small amount of quality balsamic and virgin olive oil.
Salmon main was not much better, as salmon was over cooked and dry.
Pity, because the staff were great and really wanted to do a good job. Very helpful and friendly.
Great for a getting your head down, but not if your looking for atmosphere and good food

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Coachdriver Staff always pleasant
Although I have not eaten here yet,what I have seen looks fine to me. I use this establishment as an overnight stay and I'm gone early in the morning but have no problems sleeping and it is in a very quiet location.The staff are always pleasant and polite.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by TBCLtd Uncomfortable
I spent Thursday 6th and Friday 7th December at the hotel for business purposes. I used the lounge area to meet and work. This area was consistently cold and uncomfortable, despite efforts of staff to assist.
Service was of a low standard due to the lack of staff presence.
The room I spent the night in was however comfortable and acceptable.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by UKChris First Stay
Platinum Elite member, so far had 39 nights away this year in Hol Inns on business.
Pros
Was Clean
Cons
Snow on the ground outside, no heating what so ever in my room or on the 1 st floor, coldest room I've ever had in 20 years.
Food is pub food at best, normally I like to bring a client to dinner - not here.
On check in no Priority recognition in fact receprtionist was on the phone all the time, still don't know if there is a lift in the hotel?
No Platinum upgrades or free bees such as a drink of free internet. When I asked was told each Hol Inn works on a frachise and it was the policy not to give anything.
Won't be back for sure, sorry.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ITCO a return visit
Great hotel, good room, good desk area, good TV channels, comfy bed.
The evening meal was disappointing, sorry could only describe as being pub grub.
BIG RANT, granted not a football fan
(due to overpaid, cheating, unsportsman like conduct of premiership players...
11 year olds now tell me 'diving' is part of the rules).
Question, why does football have to on in both the bar and restaurant areas?
Not every one wants to watch football, unless of course Manchester Unitied are playing.......
Didn't do breakfast.
Very good customer service from staff on arrival and depature
Would I stay again Yes

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by msmac all staff were professional, friendly and caring
Have stayed here a couple of times, the staff are friendly, extremely helpful and professional . I don't sleep well by nature , but slept comfortably in a clean and well furnished room, plenty of hot water, clean well fitted bathroom, with adequate handrails making it accessible to the elderly.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Slats Bed was very comfortable - recommend room 34 if this is what you are looking for
It does exactly what is says on the tin - comfortable bed, not fussy, simple. If this is not want you are looking for - go somehwere else.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 Shocking Service
During my stay here the hotel experienced a problem with the heating. In the morning there was no hot water. I was informed by the receptionist that the engineer would not be along until 8am to resolve the problem. This was too late for me. After a cold shave and shower I checked out. This was not the receptionists fault - rather than create a scene at the front desk I paid my bill while letting her know I was not happy. I was assured that the hotel would be in contact later.
Still waiting. I will now pursue a complaint as I now realise I should have done at the time.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Steve16 Wrong room
We had booked a king bed, non smoking room, and when we arrived we were given a standard double smoking. We couldnt change as there were no other rooms available. The experience wasnt pleasent!

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Steve16 A little in need of a refresh for a Holiday Inn.
Booked an executive room with a large bed and when I arrived was told that all was left was a normal room and it was a smoking room.
The smoking room smelt disgusting and made my stay there aweful.
We did get a refund for the room type but I really hate smoking rooms.
