Front Office staff were amazing!
Pros:

Came to visit to celebrate a special occasion, ANNA on the reception team was so lovely and welcoming. She was very informative and made our stay one to remember!
I will say the TVs in the room wouldn't let us screen share which was a little annoying but overall we had a brilliant stay thanks to ANNA.

Would definitely reccomend and come back again!

A great team and a great hotel
Pros:

I’ve been coming to the hotel for around 5 years now, Jo and Dayna on reception are always happy and friendly when arrive regardless of how busy they are. In recent months the food has really improved, the chefs Mark, Rob, Carl and Jack prepare amazing meals, always good quality and fresh ingredients. A special thanks to Tash taking care of us in the restaurant always busy but happy to help. And lastly thanks to Alex the restaurant manager, always says hello and he checks in with us to see if everything is okay.
A great team and a great hotel

Warm & Personal
Pros:

I have been staying at the Holiday Inn Mansfield for business for the past seven months, and the experience has been exceptional. For a long-term traveler, a clean room is expected, but the service is what makes a place feel like home.

The staff here are a true credit to the IHG brand. From Joanne on reception to Jordan in the restaurant and Harvey at the bar, the entire team is dedicated to ensuring a seamless stay.

The hotel is consistently clean and well-maintained, but it’s the genuine hospitality that keeps me coming back. I cannot recommend this location highly enough for anyone traveling for work

Fabulous Break!
Pros:

Fabulous hotel, we went yesterday 11th January as it was a Christmas present, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We had an upgrade on our room, which was so comfy and cosy, with snacks in the mini fridge. We had a two course evening meal, which was out of this world. The steak was the best I have ever tasted! A big shoutout the Anna on reception , Alex and Izzy behind the bar, nothing was to much trouble. This morning we had a beautiful breakfast, full English,with a choice of a wide range of continental to also choose from, served by Denise who was so helpful and kind. All in all this was the best overnight stay I have ever been on, we are planning on going back for sure. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for an

Super stay
Pros:

I had a fantastic experience at the Holiday Inn. I was fortunate enough to spend seven consecutive weeks at this hotel and had absolutely nothing to complain about. The two rooms I stayed in were excellent. The food was also excellent, and the bar staff were extremely friendly. During these weeks, I also built a great relationship with Harvey and George. Every day after work, we'd chat about work and daily routines, which definitely helps you end the day on a positive note when you're away from home for a long time. When there was time on the weekend, they gave me excellent suggestions for things to do outside the hotel. When I'm in this area again for my next work trip, I will definitely stay at the Holiday Inn in South Normanton again, and hopefully, the staff will be the same, because, as mentioned, they are extremely friendly and helpful.

One of the best
Pros:

I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn South Normanton for work for around 120 days this year, and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of it.

The team here really make the place what it is. Jo and Dayna on the front desk are consistently welcoming, friendly and professional ..they always take the time to say hello and make you feel genuinely looked after. In the pub, George and Harvey are just as great: friendly, attentive and always happy to have a chat, which makes a long work stay feel far more like home than a hotel.

In all that time, I’ve had no major issues at all, which says a lot given how often I’ve been here. The food is also excellent ..good quality, well cooked and very fairly priced, especially compared to many other hotels.

I’ve stayed in about 30–40 IHG hotels over the years, and this is genuinely one of the best. Comfortable, reliable, friendly and well run ; exactly what you want, especially for longer stays. Highly recommended.

Great service all round
Pros:

I have stayed here for a couple of nights over 2 weeks and have found the staff to be lovely, helpful and friendly. I have had 3 meals in the restaurant and each meal has been tasty and generous portions. Rooms are a good size, clean and well equipped. I am very pleasantly surprised of the standard of a large chain hotel. I would be happy to return when I am next in the area for business.
