My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were lovely and clean, making it a great place to relax.

The hotel offered great value for money at only £68 for a family of four with breakfast and parking. The rooms were perfect for our needs, equipped with separate washbasins for added hygiene. The service was mixed with some offhand initial contacts but a lovely night team that apologized for external issues. The location was surprisingly ideal for our trip, close to the river and a variety of eateries. The dining experience was affected by current circumstances, with overcrowding and hygiene issues, but breakfast was complimentary. Overall, a budget-friendly option with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel's rooms were generally clean, especially towards my 9-year-old, but there was a noisy air conditioning unit that couldn't be switched off. The standard modern Holiday Inn Express Room met the expectations for this hotel.
