I didn't like the room doors, whenever we had to close the door properly we had to make a bit of effort which creates noise. same if other people were closing their room door, we would wake up to the noise the door would make. Otherwise I liked the room, yet it feels like the rooms could use some renovation.

The room was way below expected holiday inn standards. Two days we stayed there no room cleaning or linen done and the carpet grossly dirty and damp. The check inn took time rooms changed last minute with no warning after waiting for 3 hrs to check on . Breakfast is ok but some food over cooked next to burnt eg sausages. No fridge in the rooms nor enough space to have tea or work table

Good choice, but can improve with some thought!
Helpful friendly staff, complimentary shammpoo, conditioner, soap,comfy beds, free parking (although spaces pretty tight), free breakfast, free wifi,good location with nice restaurants nearby, good vfm. Room (531) very warm even with suppied fan, weak shower, tv would be better if higher, and the 'overbed lightbox pelmet' need moving as looks like it's designed for a 'central' double bed (rather then the two singles with the bedside table inbetween), as hit my head twice on the sharp corner of it when sitting up in bed.

Grand hotel holiday inn express
I have been coming here for years . I used to live in the area and my best friend Joan lived just across from the hotel . Helen James Marie Zach Sylvie Cameron and all of the staff , the lovely cleaners are all friendly professional and do a grand Job . Ellie seems very efficient and nice with it . I have just met her this trip . Excellent hotel only thing I dislike is the food and that is mother staff’s fault . I guess upper management make more than enough with corporate bookings with rooms and don’t want to mither about the food . Before the pandemic it was better . No reflection on the chef at all she died her very best with what resources she’s allowed bless her .

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A Wonderful location, canal & harbour walks. We had a family meal in the dog friendly paper mill pub next door. It was just a nice atmosphere inside and outside the hotel. It exceeded our expectations, and We were over the moon with our air conditioned rooms. Breakfast was delicious and included in our booking, not added on, - a nice touch. Well done holiday Inn. And a big thanks to Zach on reception, the iced water dispenser in reception was always fresh. We will definitely be back.

Rooms are NOT air conditioned in the slightest — and windows do not open more than an inch. A fan is provided to “cool down” an otherwise sweltering room. Staff don’t seem to care about comfort. Expedia listing indicates a EV charger on-site but it does not exist, the nearest charger is at a nearby supermarket. Breakfast was good, but staff friendliness and effort to help guests needs significant improvement.

Great value
Booked to stay here due to the quiet'ish location & price. We received a warm welcome & the room was clean. There is a really close pub/restaurant & a couple more restaurants just over the footbridge. The hotel has a bar too, but it was rather expensive. Breakfast was good too; I requested a couple of veggie sausages that arrived amazingly quickly.
