A tired old hotel with a Holiday Inn sign
It’s quite a tired old property reminiscent of the 60s. The carpeted were worn, paint on the woodwork was peeling. There was practically no soundproofing meaning we could hear everything going on in the adjacent rooms and those above and below. The mattress left both of us in pain the next morning. On balance, the staff were welcoming and willing to assist with any requests. The location near Clarence Pier was great. Overall, it’s not what I expected from a Holiday Inn. I tend to gravitate towards the Holiday Inn chain as I can usually expect a modern and comfortable hotel. On this occasion, it did not meet that expectation.

It was quiet as Christmas but the hotel was lovely. The pool etc was lovely the restaurant was great. We had a drink at night and that was very silent. Could do with some music. There was a fan of coke and a kitkat in our room which was great but there was 3 of us and could have 4 in the room so maybe it wasn’t restocked or meant to be in there? I don’t know

Lovely stay and great location Booked a standard twin room although room pretty cosy with a tiny bathroom just about enough room to close the door without hitting the loo However the location is great as it a ten minute walk to gunwharf quays and ten minutes down to the sea Staff friendly and areas all tidy and clean Yes I will come back but will book a bigger room next time. Didn’t have breakfast as they have increased the price to £16.95 which I think is too dear they no longer let you buy a discounted voucher in advance.

The hotel it's self was average a typical Holiday inn, it's situated well with good transport links within the city. The rooms were clean & comfortable. The reception staff were miserable, surly, unhelpful & looked like their faces would crack if they smiled (which I didn't see my whole stay!!) Luckily we didn't need to go near them except to check in & get parking voucher!
