I was pleasantly surprised staying at the Holiday Inn just off Jtn 13 M6 Stafford. The room was clean, just like all of the hotel. The reception staff were really friendly. The breakfast was great, and the parking had loads of room. I will be staying again when i go back to Stafford. Thanks again guys.

We never stayed for breakfast as had to get on road. I never slept well as other room users with dog kept barking Was happy to get ground floor room as both disabled as lift was broken. If we have not got that room. We would have to go elsewhere. Husband had a good sleep bed comfy. He’s deaf so never heard the dog barking.
