fantastic stay!

secure parkingexpress breakfastfantastic receptionistspleasant staff

the staff provided secure parking for our motorbikes when they saw us riding. breakfast was the standard holiday inn express fare and it was good. the recptionists were fantastic and were very good in supporting our requests. the location is great, as are the facilities, and i found the staff to be pleasant and helpful.

the bed was a double, and it sagged a little in the middle.

Dining

The breakfast included a full english along with branded cereals. croissants and yogurts were also available. Everything was fresh and promptly topped up. i especially liked the takeaway coffee option.

Rooms

the room had everything i needed, including a hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities. the shower and toilet could be partitioned off (a nice touch, i thought!). the room space was excellent and the bed was comfy.
