The hotel had clean and comfy rooms, but might be small for two people and not ideal for families. The staff was friendly and the buffet breakfast was good. The location was a bit far out but manageable. The dining experience was basic but decent. Overall, a reasonably priced stay with some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The room was well-equipped with necessities, and the Holiday Inn standard was evident in the comfortable bed.

The hotel is conveniently located near a big Sainsbury's for quick meals, provides useful amenities like a microwave and cutlery in the rooms, and offers a good breakfast. The staff were friendly and accommodating despite some initial room issues and running out of items. The location is a 15-20 minute walk from the city center, with some construction nearby. The dining experience had some drawbacks with limited options, but the included breakfast was a decent offering. Overall, my stay was comfortable and pleasant.

The hotel was a bit expensive for what it offered, but the rooms were clean, tidy, and comfortable with great staff. The view from the room was disappointing as it overlooked the car park, and in the second room, the TV didn't work. On a positive note, the bar served delicious food and drinks at reasonable prices, and the hotel's proximity to the city center, just a 10-minute walk along the river, was convenient. Overall, I would consider staying there again despite some cleanliness issues.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, great for a short stay, but could use extra storage. The service is friendly and helpful, though lacking ice machines.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and modern, but unfortunately, we didn't get fresh bedding or clean towels after the first night. The view from our window was a cemetery, which wasn't pleasant, especially with a small child. On the bright side, the hotel is conveniently located just 15 minutes walk to the city center.
