Experience about my recent stay

I don’t expect the washroom that Hotel Holiday Inn is providing in £200 a day. I have better washroom at home. Especially , the shower was terrible. The breakfast was good. The room was also clean but there was no chair, table, drawer, fridge or wardrobe in the room. I won’t recommend this hotel in this price. I personally feel that the room and services do not worth £200.

They gave us room which was on construction zone and different floors. We went to room and the entire floor was being repaired. We had to have major discussion to give us new room but still on the different floor. One of the room never had phone to call for the Service and on other they did but no body picked up. The rooms were too small no view a weird size table without any chair. The window was broken. If we open, it tilted on one side and we had to call some staff to close it and could never open again. Holiday inn has lost its charm.

Disappointed with our room. Smelled from mould on windowsills and bathroom, blocked drain, stained towels, peeling paint, big brown stains on carpet, bed sheets not on properly over mattress, needed to request towels. Beds were comfy. Breakfast and dinner were nice, though no staff in attendance one morning so there were empty containers etc.
