From.original booking was a pain booked for 15th nov. Systerm gliched changing to 16th nov. After a week of back and forth hotels.com.& holiday inn eventually changed to original required date. At no extra charge.on arrival.at holiday inn runcorn was greated by a car park full of.potholes.. upon checking in was told there was an afditional fee to pay. Nope there wasnt. Given room.326. Upon getting in looked like they gave us the cheapest room in the hotel. Stains on the walls around the toilet. Was 1st thing we noticed. Upon entering the rest.of room. Noticed massive stains on the carpet. Holes in the wall. Light fittings hanging loose. ..bed was very uncomfortable old fashioned on legs and casters. Upon laying on the bed you felt like it was gonna fall apart. Sofa bed was a single.bed. not a sofa bed as stated by hotel which was just as uncomfortable as the main bed. Pillows.very lumpy. Rips on.the sides of the bed. And then at 10.30pm on the coldest night of the year the heater and radiators in the room didnt.work. upon leaving on sunday was again told there was an additional fee to pay. Worst stay and experience we.ve had and probably last time.we will.use holiday inn and.hotels.com

We had booked to stay for 2 nights, myself, my husband and our 2 boys aged 2 years and 2 months. Our room consisted of a double bed and a sofa bed. Neither of which appropriate for a 2 month old baby - a cot should have been provided. However, the room was that small, there wasn’t any room for a cot. The only place my 2 year old could play was under the pull out bed which is completely dangerous but he wasn’t left with much of a choice. The room itself was disgusting and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. The windows were covered in cobwebs on both the inside and the outside. The curtain had a brown stain on it, the ceiling was covered in damp that had been painted over and all the lampshades were stained. How do you expect anyone to stay in this room never mind 2 small children. The base of the double bed was ripped and falling apart and the pull out bed was cheap and you could feel the metal frame when laid on it. There was a floor lamp that stood on a tilt as it was broken and if knocked it would have just fallen over potentially landing on small children. The staff were very accommodating however and arranged a transfer to a different hotel.

No bad, not great, just middle of the road.

The room smelt awful, the loo roll was cheap single ply rubbish (the loo roll is often a reflection of the quality of the accommodation in my humble opinion). The breakfast was good, location good, car parking was plentiful. For what it cast it was OK, nothing special.
