Stayed in this hotel many years ago before it was owned by Holiday Inn and it had problems with the heating then and it still had the same problems over ten years later which is that neither guests nor the staff can control the temperatures in the rooms. What was worse was that the staff tried to pretend that it... More

I booked into this hotel because it was near to the place where I was visiting for a couple of days, hence 1 night stay. I arrived in the car park about 5.30pm and it was crammed. No parking spaces left for guests so needed to park in Asda car park which was also busy. The staff on reception were... More

We have just returned from the Holiday Inn after a two-night break with a coach party. Check-in was painless, a young lady came onto the bus and told us what was what and then handed out keys etc as we entered the hotel. We had a lovely room on the ground floor, ample space, very comfortable HUGE bed, tea making... More

As usual with the Holiday Inn the staff were excellent; always friendly and efficient with nothing being too much trouble for them, Bar and restaurant areas were bright and spacious. The food is only average however. Plenty of parking space on the site where the hotel stands and there are great facilities on the site as well. An ice rink... More

This was a two night stay while attending a race meeting at Snetterton. Check-in was polite,and quick, with my Priority Club status been acknowledged. The room, at the rear of the hotel was quiet and clean. Breakfast was good, with a good choice, and had hash brown instead of scrambled egg, a definite improvement in my opinion. Sometimes it is...
