Friendly stay

Love staying at this hotel but unfortunately we paid for a twin room but got a double - my friend was on a camp bed! We did have a voucher for 1 drink but still found it unacceptable considering we booked months ago. Staff were friendly and clearly enjoyed their work. Overall was a pleasant stay

Always like a Holiday Inn Express stay wherever in the world. The team and service here are great. Only faults we found was that its a bit dated, the double bed was just that and so was a bit on the cramped side as we are not a small couple. Great stay otherwise.
