Everything was excellent - pleasantly surprised. Good sized, well laid out, provisioned room - Every detail was just right: TV was movable as it was not fixed to the wall (great) Desk had its own directable light, The Desk's Chair was good. The Bedside tables are just the right height, the power sockets are in the right place. The Bathroom has a low level, night light for navigation in the dark. The Bathroom is well laid out, fairly spacious, very clean, nice sink and an excellent, large shower. The Receptionist was wonderful (happy, polite, helpful) They provided me with complimentary toothpaste and brush ! There is a bar and restaurant which is large and nice enough. The help yourself, buffet Breakfast was well laid out with a good variety of options (incl. Gluten free) and started at 06.30 All in all - perfect and excellent !

The room was very comfortable and a good temperature - and it had a good sized desk, which was vital for me. Although the hotel was very near the A12 and I had a room facing the road, the bedroom was reasonably quiet and the traffic little more than a background hum. It certainly didn't keep me awake. The eating facilities at the hotel were better than expected. Despite the evening food menu not looking terribly promising, the food was actually good and at a reasonable price. I very much enjoyed everything I ordered there, and the portion sizes were more than adequate. The Shell garage next door was an added bonus, stocking lots of extra food items if you needed them.

For a Holiday Inn Express this is great, second time we've stayed here, does exactly what we need it to... somewhere to sleep that was comfy and clean), showers are great, nice and big so I could easily shower our young kids as well, and breakfast in the morning with a great selection! If you want to spend more time in the hotel you may want to look elsewhere but when we go away we don't really spend any time in the hotel room so we don't need a massive room or a luxurious bath. Main this for us is comfort, cleanliness and breakfast and this ticks all the boxes. We also had a travel cot this time supplied by Holiday Inn which again was clean and in good working order.

The ease of booking in, the speed of evening service for dinner and the lovely complimentary breakfast with fantastic choice on offer. Loved the pancake machine. The staff were fabulous, and even gave my daughter a complimentary gift for her cheer competition the next day. A really kind and unexpected gesture that we’ve never received at any other hotel when staying over for a competition before! Thank you, it was really appreciated.

Jemma

We had no difficulty parking and received a very friendly welcome on arrival. Our rooms were upgraded so that they were opposite in the corridor. A pleasant dining room, we had a large lunch on route to hotel so the soup and bread and pizza on the light snack menu was just right. Good choice of options for breakfast and well cooked. Our room was very clean and we had everything we required. Good value for money.
