Well wasn’t impressed because we had a £50.00 voucher to use but they refused to take it and told us to get in touch with you direct so ended up having to pay full price. The hotel is fine but hardly any sleep because being on the street it was very noisy.

Disappointed with this Hotel

Disappointed with this stay. Had asked for a parking space before arrival & assured I would get one. Car park very small & full. Person on desk at arrival was quite rude & lacked customer service. Made a situation more stressful than it needed to be after a long day. Room averaged& not what’s expected of Holiday Inn Express. One good member of staff Rachel redeemed my faith in the hotel.
