Location was great but property is tired and rundown Rooms are small, the beds are small and uncomfortable. Only paid parking available almost a block away. Overcrowded with too many bus tours. Not a good value for the cost.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check in took far too long as your system was apparently running slow. The bar was manned by reception staff which may have been the cause for delay. Waiting time at the bar, service slow. Out room was on the 2nd floor & very noisy due to drunk women in the adjacent room. Soap dispenser pumps not working, it took 5 minutes to get a decent amount out. TV set to Babestation every time we put the TV on changed channel. Breakfast was good, staff efficient. We arrived early so we were OK but there was no seating at 9.30am. We have been returning customer to Holiday Inn but its time for a change.

Reasonable standard but common ares are a little tired and could do with some TLC. Staff were very helpful. We did not eat in hotel but plenty of choice of places to eat close by. Dick Turpin’s grave is behind the hotel.

Great hotel and friendly staff. Bed abit uncomfortable for me as only had 1 pillow which was very flat. Unfortunately shower only dribbled water out and I honestly mean a little tiny dribble! Apart from that though great room, lots of space and clean.

The hotel was fine, although, the room cleaner seemed to run late and resulted in my room not getting cleaned and the free tea and coffee not being replenished. Apart from that it was fine as I use a hotel room as a base to explore my destination. The breakfast was very good and lots of it too.

Rooms are very small and the pillows we had were lumpy. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was really good! Walking distance to town center. Back of hotel looks out to Dock Turpin’s grave which was a loud late night hang out for people drinking - lots of litter.
