Good but a few niggles
Pros:

In very good condition with quality fittings and fixtures.
Staff courteous and friendly.
Bedroom very roomy and clean, air conditioning worked very well.

Cons:

There is a large (approx 55”) TV in the bedroom - but it is run through the VOCO
system and was very difficult to use - it didn’t respond to the remote control very well and even trying to get the main tv channels was near impossible, you can’t access the tv guide and on such a large tv as there were no HD channels having to watch SD everything was blurry. During the evening the tv reception kept breaking up and eventually just switched off. I was not impressed!!
Restaurant menu is very limited - a daily specials board would be a great improvement.

Pros:

Really spacious, nice breakfast and comfortable rooms. We stayed during a heatwave so the AC was most welcomed.

Cons:

Could improve breakfast service as there was a queue each morning for the coffee machines, and cereal bowls and plates were finished when I got to the buffet.

Generally good and comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly. Pity about the restaurant.
Pros:

Room (109) was good, but only offered this when we rejected the first room offered (512) ;see next.

Cons:

First room offered (512) was poor. An odd shape, dark and dingy. The only daylight was from two skylights that were difficult to open and the mechanism dirty. Considered unsafe as if there was a fire in the corridor outside the room there would be no means of escape. Would have thought that design was not compliant with building regs.
The restaurant atmosphere was unpleasant as very echoey. so much so that if more than just a couple of family groups were in together you could hardly hear yourself think let alone have a conversation. Dinner was edible but not great. Only ate there one evening, went to local pubs the other two nights. Breakfast food though was very good and plentiful.

Shouldn't have stayed
Pros:

Was told by family and friends in Corby, not to book it, but thought we would give it a go. Never again!
We checked in, got to the room - no shelves or storage, went to speak to reception and a man and the answer was "no" - no offer of help. Saturday afternoon 4pm went to the bar to get a couple of drinks - the barmaid - was too busy singing along to songs, she didnt listen to our order. When we went outside the tables were a state - all the left over lunchtime food was still on the tables attracting flies and wasps. We couldnt sit outside for long as there was an event at the Rugby Club, opposite which was far to loud, as staff said "sorry about it - will finish about 11pm". Not sure how they know that you have been for breakfast as no room number taken when you walk in. Sunday morning breakfast was out of Fawlty Towers. The scrambled eggs on the hot plate were cold, told the waitress she said "sorry about that". 10 mins later she came out with a plate of freshly cooked scrambled eggs (I presume) and proceeded to mix them with the tray of cold eggs. This is a breach of Food Hygiene Standards. Moved on to yoghurt/cereal - no bowls; went to get orange juice - no glasses; went to do the toast - well gave up after 15 mins. No spoons on the tables. I mentioned all this to the waitress and all she said was "sorry about that". If I had a £1 for everytime I heard that over the weekend I would be happy. Sunday breakfast was just as bad - the waitress did not look happy when we asked for orange juice. Sunday lunchtime we asked about the made up rolls in the Deli to be told - "they are freshly made up; these were made on Friday"!!! Needless to say we didn't get any. On Sunday the bathroom flooded - the nice English speaking cleaner sorted it. Speaking to other guests, one lady said that it looks like a jumped up Travel Lodge - as we have never said at a Travel Lodge we cant comment. It might be easier to accept if the hotel/restaurant was busy, but it wasn't. I was glad to see/hear another guests complaining, but getting nowhere. Understand that £4M has been spent on doing up the hotel - thing IHG have missed an opportunity. The staff looked so miserable. Their "couldnt care less attitude" left a lot to be desired. No one was interested. I always believe if you have an issue at an Hotel, raise it whilst you're there, so they can fix it. I did this to several members of staff only to be told "sorry about that" and they walked away. The hotel could be so much better. Staff definitely want changing or training. Won't be staying again - definitely not worth the £349 we paid for 2 nights - got there Saturday 4th and checked out Monday 6th July. You then sent me an email at 14:30 on the 6th to remind me that check out is at 11am! You have to be having a laugh. But we were warned not to stay so should have listened.
