Disappointed to find that the air conditioning for the WHOLE B"UILD"ING was not working. Whilst opening the windows did help slightly, the room still felt warm and humid. Nothing was offered from the staff/management as a consolation to the situation which was let down to what would have been a good experience.

Great location in Gunwharf to access shopping and bars. Friendly staff. Free parking for first 24 hours. Room compact but bed comfortable. However room and shower room was very tired and in need of a refresh.

Typical Holiday inn Express. Bit chaotic on arrival - better signing to entrance when driving would be helpful & bigger area to unload as no space - had to drive into large underground car park (plenty of space) but then walk back long way carrying stuff to hotel. Room was fine though bed mattress sinking in middle a bit & noise outside woke us early on Sunday. Sunday breakfast at 09.30 was certainly peak time - only one poor woman racing around trying to clean & clear tables was woefully insufficient despite her heroic efforts. No spare tables. Food stock on display very diminished & not stocked up in time - it got better by 10.15. I guess many folk stay for shopping & the shops opening later on Sundays means most will want to come down for the last hour of breakfast - as this is clearly a known factor, maybe staff and prepare better for it? Staff were helpful. great to have the parking All in all, you are paying a premium for the location and nothing else

Staff very polite and helpful. Quite a lot of eating places close by. The choice for breakfast was really good. However the icing on the cake was that the parking, although in a multi story car park, was free.

Everything was fine, except the beds are too small. King size would be better as there is plenty of room for one, so surprised they are not available as standard in each room. Your competitors do.

The bedroom was serviced well. There was only one chair in a twin room. There were no spare pillow. Breakfast was satisfactory but not good in comparison with other hotel chains. Fruit was very sweet as was the fruit compote. It was good to have jars of jam and marmalade instead of silly little jars. However, they were very sweet. There were never enough tea spoons at breakfast.
