Reasonable standard but common ares are a little tired and could do with some TLC. Staff were very helpful. We did not eat in hotel but plenty of choice of places to eat close by. Dick Turpin’s grave is behind the hotel.

When I first got into the room (107) I noticed a loud whirring noise outside. On investigation it was coming from a bank of fans directly below the window. I went to reception at around 19:45 to ask of we could be moved, and was told no as there were no other rooms available. The gentleman on reception said it wouldn't be a problem as the fan is an extract fan for the kitchen a d would go off atbaround 21:15. The fans didn't go off and were operating all noghtband into the morning. and ate still.on now. I and my family have hardly slept as a result of the noise.

Mixture of experience. Staff were efficient and friendly. The hotel was clean and had a fairly nice lounge area. The downfall of our stay was the fairly cold temperature in the room caused by a draught coming through the window. This also let in noise and we frequently heard the less sober individuals leaving the Weatherspoons opposite. We felt the room was quite small as we used the sofa bed which meant the two beds took up almost all of the space in the room.

Good location to get to all parts of the city to visit places of interest, shopping and food and drink options. Hotel clean and comfortable, staff friendly. Breakfast option was expensive so eat out at a cheaper establishment nearby.

One cold & noisy night!

We stayed in a twin room No 105.. on Friday 7th Feb for one night.. had it been more nights i would need to move rooms..due to noise, draft and cold.. First impressions was ok, but cleanliness / deep cleaning was poor / lacking.. skirting boards were dirty, orange juice spilled down wall from previous guest.. bathroom needs a lick of paint etc.. The beds are very bouncy and soft, not very comfy for me. The one heater in the room was ok but as the inadequate windows let a really bad draft/cold in it really could not warm the toom well.. secondary glazing is required!! And this would help the horrendous noise from the multitude of air con unit fans sat outside the window... They dont stop running so offer a horrible humming noise All Night! We tried to block out the noise and cold draft from the window with the heavy curtains but didnt help.. We didnt do breakfast, as wanted to eat out, so room cost £99 for a cold & noisy night.. advised reception of its problems on check out.. their reply was we will log it!! My advice to the hotel us, if a room receives a complaint a manager should go sleep in it for one night and test it out!! We wont return.. sorry! (Wont let me add photos)

The room was in a good location but was way too small for a family. It was the only room suggested for a family but it was really small.

Rooms are very small and the pillows we had were lumpy. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was really good! Walking distance to town center. Back of hotel looks out to Dock Turpin’s grave which was a loud late night hang out for people drinking - lots of litter.

Standard hotel, horrific noise from outside units

Typical Holiday Inn with a great location, but unfortunately, my experience was marred by the noise. I booked three rooms, all next to each other, with room 108 being in the middle. The issue was that the air conditioning units outside our windows were incredibly loud—impossible to sleep through. I raised the issue with the hotel, and they were helpful in moving us, but the only available option was a room on the 5th floor directly above the original rooms. The noise was still noticeable, though slightly better. The hotel provided earplugs, but they didn’t help much. The staff were excellent and accommodating, but I strongly recommend checking whether your room is near the air conditioning units before booking. If you’re offered a room near them, ask to be moved immediately.

Wheelchair user.

Lovely hotel, really easy check in. I’m a wheelchair user the lift is a little tight for a larger wheelchair and another person but doable, just. They didn’t have a wheelchair accessible room for 3. But the room we stayed in was large and I was able to get in with my chair. The bathroom wasn’t big enough to get my chair in . The hotel was clean, smells lovely, room was clean apart from mould on the nets.
