A fairly pleasant overnight stay

The hotel is very pleasant, modern and bright. The staff were friendly & polite, although checking in was not swift and there were no self check in facilities that were visible. However, the upgrade was fully appreciated. We had a late lunch and the menu choice was good. The eating area was not as tidy as it could have been with tables not cleared and the delivery of food taking a little longer than it might have, there seemed to be a lack of staff in this area. The lady delivering our food admitting that she doesnt normally do this part, but could see our food was sat on the side, whilst looking at another member of staff who was talking to some other guests and who had been for some time, hence the delay. The lift to our floor was very dark, there was clearly a lighting issue with temporay magnetic lights, not giving enough light when the doors were closed. . The room itself was plesant, clean and tidy and modern with complimentary water and light snacks. £6 parking cost with plenty of parking. Checking in and out times very good. Breakfast was a little chaotic, it was very busy, some tables were very close together and getting past seating was like an obstacle course at times. I had to ask a member of staff for the milk churn to be refilled at the cearal stand, which she did obliged to but in total silence and showing no emotion. There was a good choice of breakfast options, like all buffet breakfast, it is hit and miss with temperature. Checking out was very swift!

Great location when visiting in and around Oxford. Sadly had a poor experience initially (given rooms with no air-conditioning in 32 degrees)! After speaking with the manager, Georgi, it was a known issue and we were relocated to different rooms in the newer wing of the building. The initial rooms had a tower fan and the window open so it was obvious that they knew there was a problem and allocated those rooms despite this. The issue was eventually resolved but showed that customers experience was not a priority in room allocation at check in. Pretty sure IHG can do better! Anyway, the remainder of our stay was perfectly fine.

Great location for visiting Oxford & Blenheim Pala

Absolutely perfect for going to Blenheim Palace for a concert... there was a bus stop very close to the hotel...we parked in the hotel (£6 for 24hrs) and headed off. The buses aldo go into Oxford city centre, so perfect location. Good variety for breakfast, and interior tastefully done. Staff very helpfuland polite. Overall an excellent stay.

Great location for our event at Blenheim Palace, and getting into Oxford from the park and ride. Pleasantly surprised with the room size, very quiet and dark for a sleep in. We didn’t use any of the other facilities or eat/drink here so can’t comment. Overall a great and convenient stay

Average stay, due to the TV not working, and the room's gas alarm sounded twice, which the front desk staff responded to very fast, too, when we called.

Unacceptable treatment by staff

Everything was fine until I went for dinner (pre-booked and pre-paid). I was given a very limited menu and wasn;t really taken with anything on offer. I chose the 'safe' choice of fish and chips but unfortunately the fish really was drowned in oil and so I didn't each much of it. Is it not put on a rack after frying and before serving. This would instantly solve this issue. But what was totally unacceptable was that, as the last diner I was left (abandoned) for a full 25 minutes alone, no staff, and wanting to leave. Eventually I got up from the table and returned to my room as I knew that I could pay for my (not included) wine in the morning. To then be disturbed in my room as I was getting ready for work by a staff member banging on the room door and thrusting a card reader at me, saying "you haven't paid for your wine" was totally unacceptable. When I said I couldn't pay for it as there were no staff available - and anyway I could pay for it in the morning when I checked out - the staff member said "No, you have to pay it now" - like I was like some "risk of flight" danger to Holiday Inn. I was gobsmacked.
