We stayed in two different Holiday Inn hotels on this trip and were very impressed with both of them, we will be booking
Pros:

Although we only stayed one night, our experience was very good, the surroundings like the waterways museum and canal locks were very pleasing. Staff were very pleasant, our evening meal and breakfast were superb, James on the front desk was very professional, I booked in myself leaving my wife in the car as she’s disabled, once booked in I brought her in in her wheelchair, later I came to the front desk to book an evening meal in the restaurant and James said he’d noticed my wife’s condition and went on to explain the evacuation procedure for her in detail and her ability to deal with this, which I thought was very professional

I am not someone to allow a bad experience spoil the hard work of the good staff here. I commend everyone for making my
Pros:

Staff nice
Spacious room
Free parking
Always clean with very cheerful cleaners doing a brilliant job
Nice breakfast

Cons:

I had to throw my food in the bin and that broke my heart as they didn’t have a microwave and the staff said because of cross contamination I can’t use theirs. I have stay at other holiday inns and this has never been an issue. It’s 2026 I never imagined microwaves should be an issue..
