Not sure who or how this hotel is rated as excellent. The hotel looks modern until you look at the detail. eg dirty carpets, tired in places reception area, carpets in the room worn out and dirty. There is grime in the lifts, doors chipped etc. Bathroom was nice clean and modern! Breakfast was included and decent. I think the hotel probably attracts a certain type of person and also is not really cleaned and maintained. In my opinion this hotel and brand is over priced for a Holiday Inn. Id rather pay half the price and go stay at a 3 star hotel.

The staff were all excellent: friendly and helpful. The breakfast had lots of great options and was plentiful. The room was comfy and roomy. It was a great place to stay for accessing the trains and regional busses. A bit of a walk over to the high street for shops and restaurants, but doable. Would stay here again.

The receptionists ( 2 gentlemen) were very friendly and welcoming, we were allowed into rooms an hour and a half early, which was an added bonus, room was as expected, clean, tidy and suited our needs. The breakfast was really good, and the lady who was clearing the tables was excellent

Not the best holiday inn express

Car park spaces were barely wide enough for a small car and guests were expected to pay £12 for the privilege of parking there. (The station car park a short walk away is a far better option) Even though the room was pre paid the hotel wanted a credit card as a Garrentee against damage because the hotel was booked through Hotels. Com. (I refused )

Little problems but nice stay overall

The hotel is new-ish and in very nice condition. I experienced several small niggles during my stay including an inoperable safe, spoiled toiletries and confusion about the need for housekeeping. Although it took too long to correct these issues, management did correct them in the end and we had a reasonably good stay. The hotel is within an easy few minutes drive of Stonehenge and the charming little town of Salisbury. The on-site restaurant is pretty good and there are fast food options nearby as well.
