Pros:

Het ene Holiday Inn hotel is het andere niet.Na een prima modern Oxford, was dit een zware ontgoocheling:positief de USB opladingspunten naast bed en eventueel de ruime parking

Cons:

Oubollig,zeer zwak ontbijt,niet aangevulde items, het is meer een "roadhouse" voor truckdrivers...

Comfortable, clean, no hassle.
Pros:

Check in lady polite and warm welcome. Room was nice and cool and clean. Sofa bed made up as asked for my son. Breakfast very tasty.

Cons:

Coffee machine in restaurant I think may have been out of milk as my cappuccino was just espresso and another customer couldn’t get a latte. I should’ve said something but my son was keen to get going. Was really looking forward to that post breakfast coffee.

Disappointed and underwhelmed
Pros:

Breakfast was ok

Cons:

Our room - wet patch on the carpet under the mirror. The lighting was appalling - room was incredibly dark. Stains/ drips down the wall under the aircon unit. Looked like it had been leaking for some time and not cleaned. The bed was ridiculously small.
