My IHG Experience
Pros:

I recently stayed at an IHG hotel and had a wonderful experience. From check-in to check-out, the staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay.

The hotel's facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the high standard of customer service throughout my visit.

The location was convenient, making it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would happily recommend IHG hotels to family and friends. I look forward to staying with them again in the future.

Cons:

While the overall stay was pleasant, I was disappointed with the breakfast. I ordered room service, but the food arrived cold, the bacon was very dry, and the toast was burnt. Additionally, I had ordered two separate breakfasts, but the orders were mixed up, which was frustrating. Unfortunately, the breakfast experience did not meet my expectations.

Adequate for an overnight stay
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

The hotel is tired and the signage for guests with disabilities is poor. I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you have mobility issues. The disabled spaces in the car park are quite far from the entrance which is fine if you have a wheelchair but too far away if you don't have one

Pros:

Comfortable clean room. Just had an issue with key card and room was furthest wing from reception.

Cons:

I appreciate you need to make a profit but not including breakfast as part of the deal. Paying £15 plus for a bit of toast or cereal if that's all you want for breakfast is a bit much. So you then missed out as went to the local supermarket.
