Don't book through hotels.com
I have no issue with the hotel. I do however have an issue with hotels.com not understanding what a VAT receipt is. They gave me a number to contact and this number asks for an itinerary number, as soon as you enter that number, it's not recognised. Even the hotel itself doesn't recommend I use your app to book my stay with them. Very very disappointed with the service from hotels.com

It was just an overnight stay. The kids love and enjoy the stay! Most especially they enjoyed the breakfast 👍 the only downside pool was outside the hotel.

Busy and not the best Holiday Inn Express.
Overall the stay was pleasant. Room was clean but the towels felt like sand paper and one hand towel had a hole in it. Breakfast was chaotic and they couldn’t meet the constant demand for clean plates and cutlery. Lack of choice of breakfast juice as only orange or water available. Also the tv in the bedroom did not function properly which was either a signal issue or the tv on its way out.

Great location.
Great location but lack of air con or a decent fan let the property down. I did use the gym and the pool which were a big bonus. Overall a good stay. Pleased the weather wasn't warmer or the lack of air con could've been a big problem.

Basic hotel at exp above price
The hotel was very basic. Small room size, no Aircon. It’s not value for money at these prices.
The staff except for a few seemed like interns who were doing this for first time
Breakfast was basic and they wind down by 930 which is very odd in a small town like this - the staff was not pleased to wait even 5 minutes on breakfast despite the request
Lots of dogs and one guest took food from the breakfast in the hotel plates to feed his dog no one from the hotel noticed and only took action after we pointed it out
