Good room and a good property however on the website it advertises “Full access to a David Lloyd Leisure Club next door is available for a fee”. It turned out that this wasn't being offered to guests due to a pause in their contract with David Lloyd. Whilst this is a temporary pause, this should not be on the Holiday Inn Express website.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Internet slow and unreliable, especially the 'house' network. Not enough shelving in bathroom, no hooks in bathroom, no drawers in bedroom, bedside tables too small, toilet blocked on last day. Heating unresponsive to changes made on the controls. Single quilts very narrow for the beds, no overhang. No prepared fresh fruit, no fruit knives for unprepared fruit. Buffet area badly designed, too small, congested. Many tables seated 4, but often with only 1 or 2 people seated at each, leading to a shortage of tables when busy. Absence of written information in the room, eg, the option for 'no room service', food menu for evening meals. Room was clean. Saw very few staff, but all were polite. Workmen on the roof directly outside the room window before our check out time. Am concerned that no one will respond or deal with these comments.

The link between hotels and holiday inn needs improving - i booked a twin for two people, they only got info saying it was for one person, the first two rooms they gave me were double beds. Once that confusion was cleared up it was all fine.

Service with more than a smile

The staff were unfailingly friendly and welcoming, going the extra mile to serve our needs. Breakfast was fine too. The room was very clean, no complaints, and very quiet at night. Our only disappointment was in the evening meal, but given the limited facilities at the hotel, it was understandable. That was the only downside of our very peasant stay. Much recommended.
