This hotel is probably the worst Holiday Inn branded hotel I have ever stayed in. I booked an executive room which was quite frankly awful. Old and tired furnishings, wallpaper hanging off around the damp window, musty stale smell, uncomfortable zip and link bed, depressing dim lighting, ancient tv, none of the usual executive room extras and not even a...

As a Platinum Priority member I was not made at all welcome I asked for an upgrade but was told no upgrades available.

As a regular user of Holiday Inn's I must say this is one of the worst ive used, poor standards, staff who couldnt seem to care less and a hotel in need of improvements. My room was about the size of a cupboard, with a slanting roof across the whole room, during the night I got out one side of... More

Room nicely appointed, though not large. Lovely deep bath. Old CRT television with limited channels. WiFi overpriced. Public areas were pleasant enough. Restaurant food was just above average, although service was slow and not very attentive. Biggest problem was the bed squeaking every time I moved!! More

First thing: the staff here are great, which makes up for a lot of the niggles. I stayed here for 3 nights on business, so I didn't get to see the gym facilities! There is plenty of car parking, and the bar area is comfortable and welcoming. The rooms are rather small, and in the first room I checked into,... More

Lovely hotel. Helpful friendly staff and excellent carvery evening meal. Even though I have multiple allergies the food was more than suitable and tasted delicious: hot, clean and tasty!!! The room was clean, comfortable, like a smaller version of the Hilton. High standard of cleanliness. Would definitely recommend it to all. More

My second visit in twelve months. Good reliable value and service though reception at reception is a bit hit and miss. Some of the staff are so good that it creates a contrast with those who are just "working" rather than conventrating providing customer service. However as I stay in numerous hotels during the year this Holiday Inn does rate... More

We had an early moring flight out of Luton so opted for the Park and Fly - works out cheaper than parking alone and cuts out the stress! We didn't arrive at the hotel until very late but there was no issue with check-in. There was a party on the same floor as our room, which was a concern to... More

This hotel had been a Moat Hotel previously, so the standard is mostly quite high. Good lounge & bar areas; extremely good 'accessible room' with adjacent carer room interconnecting. Executive rooms seem the same as all the others. Nice gym & pool with proper jacuzzi. £23 allowance for dinner off the a la carte, which was easily adequate. Slow service... More
