Had a very pleasant stay, with comfortable accommodation and friendly staff.
Pros:

Spacious and clean room. The iron and ironing board in came in very handy. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Expensive parking charges at NCP parking nearby. Would be good if there was parking provided at Holiday Inn with discounted pricing.

Leicester holiday inn
Pros:

It was ok

Cons:

The bathroom left a lot to be desired. The location of soap dispensers was dangerous for elderly people, a slip danger when using the shower and an impossible position to reach when using the bath, above and out of reach.
