Terrible experience
Pros:

Over 3 hours on the phone to this lot, 3 people trying to deal with a booking that included breakfast, but when I spoke with the hotel, they said my reservation did not include breakfast, I sent screenshots to booking.com and they still couldn't resolve it. Person 1 and 3 had a very poor understanding of English. Person 2 said she would call me back after ten minutes! 5 hours later NO PHONE CALL!!!
Hotel said I had to deal with booking.com and booking.com said they had to get authorization from the hotel!!!!!
The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing!
My calls were cut off twice, number 2 agent called me back and the phone showed a Hong Kong number!!!!!
They have no idea about customer service!!!
DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES OF A COMPANY!!!

Dreadful.
Pros:

Booked the best room with balcony on 7th floor. Worst room ever - hasn’t been updated since the Seventies by the look of it. Awful furniture, stained carpets and balcony filthy with seagull droppings and an open drain hole. Rather stay in a Travelodge which sums it up. Avoid and go the The Clayton.

Personable staff
Pros:

I was here for 9 days to visit my mom, in a care facility. It was a last minute visit as my mom needed to be moved and my family, local to Bristol, were out to town so I came from the states. I was a solo traveler and had a nice time here. The breakfasts were lovely. I would be off during the day to see my mom and pack up her space for the move. In the evenings I would grab a bite to eat in the bar or restaurant. Ashish and Sai were very kind as was the above manager. They greeted me and welcomed me upon my return nightly. I also met another lovely employee who is on the academy side! I don’t know her name. She has family in the states so we talked about that. She also talked about her experience with dementia and had you tube suggestions. Everyone was very kind and welcoming

Comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Our stay was lovely! The hotel is close to bus stations and is walkable to many attractions. Our check-in was smooth, the room was spacious, air conditioned, and had an amazing shower! Our breakfast was also delicious with many English breakfast options. Praveen, Archna, and Christeen were very helpful in the mornings during breakfast and made our stay even more enjoyable. We were also able to have our luggage held for the day after checking out. I would stay here again!

Apart from the cost everything was passable
Pros:

I have used Holiday Inns previously and the facilities and staff have been as expected.

Cons:

The price was extortionate for one night. But I was only able to book the previous day so was a bit desperate.

Comfortable bed and good shower, but the narrow window which cannot open made us feel locked in
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff. Very good shower

Cons:

Narrow window in the room which didn’t open at all. On arrival, walking into the room felt like walking into a fridge. We had to heat the room up with the air conditioning unit even though it was a very hot day, which felt like such a waste of electricity.
