The room was nice and comfortable & the staff were friendly. The only niggles we had was there was a very long queue for check in (I’m not sure what the problem was but once it started moving it went quickly and the person who checked me in apologised for the wait) and with there only being 3 lifts for the 16 floors getting down for breakfast and then to check out took ages

The nicest Holiday Inn I've stayed in so far. The staff were lovely. Easy check in. The room was lovely and clean. On the menu in the restaurant, it was limited on food choices as I think they had a shortage of ingredients. The pizza was a little over done and the "fries" were more or less soggy chips. Easy to check out. Would stay here again. It was a 10 minute walk away from the Utilita Arena. Fairly straightforward. The same with the town centre.
