Chose hotel as appeared in images to be better than the cheaper chains around the city centre. Sadly, it is very basic - beds a little firm, but ok. Everything else functional at best, Lots of white rough white paint on industrial like doors. Virtually no pressure in bath/shower. Very thin walls (we had a lady throwing up next door at 2am). Spa is a disgrace. They are apparently re doing ladies and mens changing but it should never be in the state it is with men in one of two 'treatment' rooms with a couple of chairs to change. Pool would be fine, but again, all white and industrial with aged tiled flooring from the 70s / 80s. Breakfast was shocking (cardboard over cooked bacon, the thinnest, cheapest, powdering sausages with no actual meet in, scrambled egg swimming in yellow oil, coffee from a machine that tasted very bitter). I will say that day 2 I had an omelette made to order which the chef did a fairly good job of - he saved breakfast. I don't think it is the chef or serving staff fault - it is the choice of the hotel that sells rooms for £120 a night to serve food at a quality that the average little chef or truck cafe wouldn't even consider. On the positive side, the staff in the restaurant and on reception in the main were friendly, well presented and did all they could. Holiday Inn used to be a Hilton class hotel - not great, but predictable. This is the second time I made this mistake - the first was a couple of years ago at the Holiday Inn in Guildford :-(
