Stayed here for 3 days whilst working nights locally. CHECK IN. On arrival receptionist took 20 mins to check 2 of us in. The other 4 took a further 30mins. BREAKFAST. The buffet bar didn't seem to be changed as often as should as in food being used day after day if not eaten. The cooked breakfast, even though they... More

Not sure this hotel should be showing three stars! After booking in and getting our key our first let down came as we were told the way to our room was outside and up rusty metal stairs shabbily covered with plastic. Our room was indeed ready for a makeover, wallpaper starting to come off, very dated. The TV had a... More

I stayed there for two nights. It's OK but nothing memorable. It's clean and comfortable and reasonably friendly. The room was acceptable but could have been warmer and the radiator in the bathroom didn't work. The food in the restaurant is good but overpriced - I suspect that the breakfast sausages also appear in the 'sausage and mash' dinner. Some... More

As it said above, better than we expected. The bedrooms were very nice, the sheets were lovely and crisp & white. Good size room, excellent breakfast, could not falt that, at all. There was plenty of eating places around, if you did not want to eat at the hotel, I must say, we did not eat there, but all the... More

Where do I start. Easy. Don't ever go there! The hotel is very tired and need of a makeover. The toilet downstairs is falling apart, the paint work is flaking everywhere. The suites (something of a Mis statement as they are not really suites) have a spa bath, but looking at the Stains in ours I would not want to... More

Stayed here for one night in March 2013. We received a pleasant welcome from the receptionist who was very helpful and friendly. Our room: ok so the decor is from the 1980's and it is tired with bits of wallpaper coming off in a few places, but it has to be said that the room was a very good size... More

The room was awful. Very dated decor, wardrobe door hanging off and cold tap didn't work. Shower changed temperature and radiator was stuck on so room was like a sauna all night. The bar staff were friendly but food and drink were well over priced for the quality. Would not stay here again. Nothing about the hotel was even satisfactory.... More

Ended up staying at Bobsleigh due to problem with my booking at Holiday Inn. I did enjoy my stay at the Bobsleigh but it won't be for everyone. It has character which you don't get at the likes of the Holiday Inn. It is in need for a refurbishment so yes the bedrooms and bathrooms need a make over. The... More

I booked this hotel at the last minute to be near a conference centre. I didn't stay at conference centre as there was a function happening, so looked nearby. At first glance when I pulled into the car park - I wondered what I had done wrong. It looks like a motel on a busy road! However, the reception staff... More
