Perfect accomodation for WB HP visit
Pros:

We choose this hotel, because it is nearby the WB Harry Potter Studio. The free bus is just a few minutes from the hotel, so when we arrived in the late afternoon back from the tour it was really good that we could get back to the room quick. the hot breakfast buffet was excellent. Our room was clean and nice, the staff was very helpful.

Cons:

Nothing

Très bon séjour
Pros:

Les chambres sont très belles. Confortable et le personnel est très gentil

Cons:

Le seul soucis c’est que le samedi je devais parti à 7h10 et je n’ai pas pu prendre le petit déjeuner car il est servi à 7h30 au lieu de 6h30 comme la semaine donc j’ai pas profité du deuxième petit déjeuner qui était compris dans le prix

Pros:

Proximité de la gare et du bus pour les studios Harry Potter
Très bonne isolation extérieure (beaucoup de passage de trains mais à peine perceptibles)
Nous sommes arrivés vers 14h, une heure avant l'heure prévue et nous avons pu nous poser un peu dans la chambre avant la visite des studios.

Cons:

Rien (nous sommes restés une seule nuit)

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.
