Pleasantly surprised as it been many years since I used Holiday Inns.
Pros:

Location was great being only a 5 minute walk to the station. Staff were great allowing us a late checkout (1400) without extra charge. Room was clean, bed comfy good size shower. Allowed us to drop off case very early, even though room was not ready. Breakfast was quite good with adequate selection.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Poor advice - car park has cameras that extorted me for £60
Pros:

Desk manager advised I could park in there car park for 30 mins prior to check out, week later got a ticket in the mail, contested this but no joy, so my one night stay doubled in price
