Poor mattress

Hi! We stayed for the first time in a Holiday Inn Express book in date 28.6.25 for one night. I am afraid the main memory we will have is the poor mattress. It appeared to be quite an old sprung mattress with an add on thin mattress topper. My wife and I did not have the best sleep because whenever one us moved the rest of the mattress did as well. This was of course very disappointing. We were in room 503 which on the whole was ‘tired’. However on a positive note the shower was amazing as were the staff and the breakfast. I did report the mattress when booking out. Thank you.

Wouldn't recommend.

The hotel is quite tired. The room I had needs a refurb as the carpet, despite them saying had been professionally cleaned, was disgusting. The sofa arms and back were disgusting as was the remote control. The office chair was caked in something white and had not even been wiped. However the bathroom and sheets were very clean. The matress was old and sagged in the middle so I was glad I was travelling alone. Breakfast was quite basic, the coffee machine awful and the sausages very overcooked. The hotel was very noisy with me being able to hear water pipes and aircon most of the time. I was also awoken each night by banging and creaking doors. This was exasperated by the 45 mins of the bin wagon emptying commercial bins at 10.30pm. When I told the staff about the room, they were already overbooked so couldn't move me but offered to change the office chair and said they'd award me some reward points.

Worst hotel stay

One of the worst hotels I've stayed at. Bed was not comfortable, no baths, doubt bedding was changed between guests. Breakfast wasn't great, hash browns were dry, sausage dry. No pressing iron in room and when i called down requesting i was asked to come down and get it myself. Was given a terrible iron that the face was so strained, had to ask for a change. It was all far below expectation. I thoroughly regretted my choice.

Room was clean and smelt fresh,beds very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. Breakfast was good, the only negative was the hash browns, they are kept in an open dish, which means they cool down very quickly, they were barely warm whilst the sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs were hot, also the tomatoes weren’t grilled they were also cold

Great location friendly staff

Slow check-in due to a lot of guests arriving at the same time but all available staff worked efficiently to check guests in.spacious room albeit dark due to lack of natural light. Good breakfast & Wendy was extremely helpful at retrieving my phone charger left in the room.
