The stay was comfortable in general except toilet. Unfortunately the toilet in our 6th-floor room did not flush well. Additionally it is not a fault of the hotel but the parking was little bit challenging for the foreigners. We have to pay the parking fee by smartphone application which could not be installed to foreigner's smartphone.

Do not recommend, there are better places to stay.

Our party of 3 had two rooms, and they were very different in condition. Our daughters room on the first floor was acceptable, clean although had a weird odour. Our room on the fourth floor however was not as expected from previous stays with Holiday Inn Express. There was an odour when entering the room, and an irritating noise which we soon worked out was the air conditioning unit. The toilet water looked dirty, like it had back flushed when another one is used, there were no bags in the bins and the towel in the bathroom had brown marks on it from a previous visitor. The kettle did not boil, it shorted when switched on. We tried using the phone to contact someone but no one answered. When getting into bed there was a lump on the mattress, upon inspection we found used dirty tissue under the sheet. When using the shower, the water did not drain quick enough and had to cut the shower short to stop the tray from over flowing. The lifts were either out of order or overly busy meaning a long wait for space and no clear signage to the stairs for alternatuve access. There were no visable staff when checking out to make these comments too. I am really disapointed with our stay and will not be recommeding or returning to this hotel.

Issue with room being set as a double and not twin, A/C noise and didn’t cool the room, night club in close proximity had extremely load base music until 2am at least. Hotel was very clean, but access to car park poorly exploded, staff made every effort to correct the issues within their control.

The bedroom was well-appointed, compact, and very clean, with efficient use of space. The bathroom was also well-equipped and generally clean, though there were some signs of mildew and limescale in places that suggested a need for more thorough deep cleaning. Breakfast was of good quality, with a decent variety of options. However, during busy periods, staff struggled to keep up with demand, resulting in items not being replenished promptly. The dining area was also quite small, leading to some crowding and limited seating at peak times. Overall, a comfortable stay with quality amenities, though improvements in cleanliness and breakfast service capacity would enhance the guest experience.Would stay again. A solid 8/10 hotel and a bargain price.

Very basic hotel. Staff on the front desk were not at all clear about parking arrangements. Really noisy at night from outside aswell as other guests. Air-conditioning was useful but very noisy. Room was fairly clean, quite dusty in places. Barely any refreshments in room, two teabags, 2 coffee sachets and 4 sachet of milk. Breakfast was a nightmare. Really busy and not enough tables. None of the tables had been cleared or cleaned. Only one coffee machine working with big queue. Pancakes were the size of a 10p coin! It was ok for a one night stop over but probably wouldn't return.
Tiny pancakes, if you can even call them that!
