This hotel is clean and comfortable although a little noisy as it is in a service area situated between a main road and a railway line. Staff were helpful, food and bar were ok and the beds were comfortable with good en-suite facilties.

Picked this hotel because it was close to where I was working the next day and had good reviews / reasonable price. I hadn't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express before and will certainly use them again based on this stay. Staff at check in were prompt, polite and helpful. Room itself was quite modest in size but perfectly adequate,... More

Stayed on business for a couple of weeks. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and modern. Very well soundproofed which is needed as hotel is on the side of the a421 but you don't get any road noise. Free parking is a bonus. Found most of the staff really helpful and friendly
