This hotel was by far the worst Holiday Inn I have ever stayed in. They were doing construction on the floor above mine and I had no control over the heat The heat was so intense I found it difficult to sleep. Also the water was shut off the second day I was there because of the work. It was horribly overpriced and I was so glad to check out.

Offered a complimentary upgraded room for us on arrival. Room spotless, large comfortable bed, fridge, lovely toiletries in bathroom, tea, coffee, still & sparkling water and milk provided. We were on the top floor, very quiet at night so had a good nights sleep. Breakfast excellent in a very large room, good range of hot and cold options. Easy and fast check out. Underground parking under the hotel was £27 expensive but we have seen other hotels in London with extortionate prices so we were happy to pay. Only criticism was some areas of the car park were quite old and tatty but there were lots of spaces to park.

I was so disappointed. I've stayed at quite a few Holiday Inns in the past and was always happy with my stay. However, I found the lobby stuffy and unenviting. We ordered ice cream for dessert and for the ridiculously high price, the quality of the ice cream was poor. I was surprised that this location did not offer "free breakfast". I will not recommend this location.

Breakfast was not up to par with comparable hotels in the area. Menu options at the restaurant for dinner were limited. Construction on a nearby room made our stay really noisy. We had been traveling a lot by train and needed adequate rest time when in our room and the construction/remodeling noise prevented this. Front desk staff never answered the phone when we called from the room. WiFi was probably the only good thing about the place.

Will be great once the construction is done.

The Hotel did not have a room for us when we showed up, which was just an hour after check in time. There was construction going on in the rooms around us. Water was turned off one day without notice.
