We liked the breakfast area, staff was very friendly and helpful. Was close to Printworks, for restaurants. It was only about a 10 min walk to the AO Arena. Room was very clean, it had all we wanted, tea coffee. Shower was really good. The only think for me was the bed was a bit to soft, so I found it uncomfy.

Enjoyable stay

Difficult to navigate to the hotel as we were driving and so many one way systems, no parking at the hotel but we did unload the car, we had booked into a car park that was recommended and that was fairly nearby. Everything was within walking distance much easier than driving. The AO arena was only 10 minutes away to walk. Reception was speedy and the receptionist was helpful.

Felt more like an Ibis then a Holiday Inn

The rooms require renovation. Not the standard one would expect of a Holiday Inn brand. Felt more like an Ibis

Over night stay to watch gig at coop live

Decent location, 2 minute walk from secure parking at Apcoa which was discounted by staying at the hotel. Good choice of restaurants around the hotel. 10 minute taxi ride from the coop live. Friendly and uncomplicated check in. The room was comfortable enough but not cleaned to a great standard. Carpets and furniture in the room was a bit grubby. Buffet breakfast was included and was edible with a choice of English and continental options.
