More Holiday Nightmare rather than Holiday Inn
Furniture was well worn, food was dreadful, reserved parking meant you could park on the street and then they try to overcharge me by 25%. Strangely I won’t be staying again.

My reccomendation is, Do not book this hotel SPA is miss advertised. They do not have a spa person or area. Steam room and sauna are not working properly. Jacuzzi hasn't been working for 8 months not sure if it is yet Facilities are dirty and old and broken. Just look for yourseves. Staff not acknowledging any complaints neither are they within there own 48hr SLA. Customer service at hotel and remote don't respond and ignore. We checked out with a long line of complaints in front of us. Hotel staff were refunding car park to get rid of customers rather than delayed with issues reported. They advise they can't do anything to help yet they don't help remotely. Still not heard back now from customer service been two weeks since raising complaint. As Expedia keep asking for me to review I will. :) Breakfast is a total joke quality and price. £16.95 Just walk up road to small local places much cheaper and much better. £7 for a pint at bar. My advice book the ibis. Half the price and brand new. Go to an actual spa, pool etc as this place is not what's advertised. I would rate this a 2.5 star hotel. I spend most my time in hotels and I couldn't believe how bad this Is for the price.

Staff were excellent. Arrangements for vegans were limited despite prior warning and promises that oat milk would be provided etc Room was only noisy because there was a thick fog in the morning after our stay and the various ships leaving the harbour were blasting on their sirens. Pool was well-managed. Arrangements to use gym and pool were good. Breakfast was good for non-vegans.
