Review of sofa bed experience
The room was nice, but the second sofa bed provided to us had a thin mattress. After sleeping on it, I experienced back pain and lost sleep

Pleasantly surprised
We weren't expecting much from this hotel but were pleasantly surprised. The room was excellent value for money and was nicer than anticipated. Yes, this is an older hotel and it shows in places, but everything was clean and tidy. We booked a twin Premium room which had nice extras such as robes & slippers provided. The twin beds were almost touching which was fine for us as we're good friends but perhaps would be a bit weird if you were sharing with a colleague, for example. We had problems with the aircon not staying on for more than a couple of minutes. Not a big problem in December - we just opened a window - but I imagine would be very uncomfortable in the summer months. There were a few other niggles - there was a coffee machine in the room but no coffee pods supplied and we only received one pack of complimentary biscuits (so 3 custard creams to share between the two of us). The bathroom is quite small but fine for a single person at a time. The shower is a walk-in style enclosure with pleasant complimentary toiletries (shower gel, shampoo and conditioner). I found the shower pressure a little weak. The pool and gym are both quite small but adequate for a short stay. The pool was clean and warm - unfortunately the hot tub was out of order. All of the staff were very welcoming and we genuinely felt welcome here. I will look forward to staying again.

The staff who were the were excellent. We had a long wait at checking in and thought the reception area very noisy and busy. We were given brief instructions and the key card for our room and booked in to the restaurant for an evening meal which was a part of our package. The room is excellent. Couldn’t get hot water but everything else is good. Ongoing to the Restaurant for our dinner, we waited to be allocated a table but I told the restaurant was closed because of an event in the next room. We were told we could have a meal in the bar Where there were few very low tables and totally un suited to that purpose. After putting this to the member of staff she agreed and allowed us to order from the bar but sit in the Restaurant area and brought us our meal. It took forever but for marks to the lady serving us For solving the problem and delivering it couldn’t have been easy for her. The hotel itself is somewhat disappointing very corporate, extremely shabby externally and in need of renovation throughout. Good parking but won’t be coming again. First time using holiday inn - and probably the last. There may be a reasy for scarcity of staff so will leave things there.

Good choice for a night’s stay.
I stayed here for one night with my husband & our young baby. The booking confirmation said we’d have a cot in the room but when we arrived the room had one double bed & the sleeper couch had been made into a bed. It wasn’t a problem as we had a travel cot with us but it was a good job we weren’t relying on there being a cot provided. The room was clean & comfortable enough, although it was way too hot when we arrived (the thermostat was set to 24C) but we turned it down & the windows opened enough that it cooled down. The windows didn’t fit brilliantly so we could hear the wind in the night but there was a huge storm so I think usually you’d probably hear some traffic noise through them but not enough to keep you awake. The shower was a let down unfortunately. It took ages to get it to the right temperature & it was variable to say the least. We didn’t have the breakfast so I can’t comment on that. The other thing to mention is the layout of the hotel is a little odd. The rooms are spread out over 2 floors but in a long thin arrangement, rather than being a tall building. There are multiple entrances once you have your key so we could get to & from the car quickly rather than going via reception but it’s worth being aware that you may have a bit of a trek from reception to your room when you arrive & we didn’t notice a lift. Overall, not bad for a night’s stay.

The heating in our room required resetting each day otherwise it wouldnt heat. The restaurant ran out of crackers for our cheesboard. I chose this hotel over a town centre hotel because it had a swimming pool. We got to use the pool once before it was closed - dont know why. The hot tub was closed for the whole of our stay. The room did not have any plugs either side of the bed. Bathroom had a refitted shower but the rubber seal was coming away from the corner joint. The loo roll holder was coming away from the wall and the door had a bodged repair. Breakfast was lovely and so were the staff.

My family and I stayed here, we specifically chose this hotel as it has a pool which we planned to use in the morning. Sadly, upon arriving at the pool around 8am we were informed that the pool isn’t open to children until much later in the day. This wasn’t clearly documented anywhere and wasn’t mentioned even when I asked at reception what time it opened when I checked in. Suffice to say, having to deal with 2 upset children made our stay memorable for the wrong reasons. What kind of hotel advertises a pool but doesn’t let their younger guests use it first thing in the morning?! Aside from the above, the property is in need of repair and cleaning throughout. The bathroom in our room was tiny. The breakfast was okay.
