I am a seasoned traveller, started with Premier Inn to be exact with no instinctive why I should continue to book. I became an IHG member and in 6 months I am a platinum. …

Must admit i was a little sceptical after reading some reviews however was VERY impressed with our stay. We stayed over for the football which this hotel is ideal for as right outside the grounds. …

Arrived at the hotel and noticed children playing in the carpark. Thought it was just families staying. The room was lovely, clean and tidy with a lovely show. Knew there would be a limited menu but was fine with that. …

I booked a twin and we got a double, and when asked about it was told there was nothing else available, due to this had a terrible night, had to resort to sleeping on the floor. In the morning was told we could have got a roll out bed, Customer care lacking, don't think I will book Holiday Inn again.

No Air Conditioning. Nice staff. Only reason for a higher review.It’s a furnace in this hotel. Staff are lovely, but air con is broken and I was told it’s not getting fixed .Bed was ok. Room clean enough. Just too hot even with fans supplied.

This hotel is in a great location and not too far from the town centre. I stay here 2/3 times a year and generally good, but the air con has been out of action for at least a year, probably longer which I think is poor for IHG.

Good breakfast and bar but without air-conditioning at this time of year, the room was extremely hot. The water was also ferociously hot with no cold setting in the bathroom sink. Good price and location!!

Location great for the stadium (possibly not if you’re not there for the stadium… check the schedule first!)Rooms were well looked after, heating/air con was not working which was advertised in advance at the time of booking so not a surprise- but at the room price isn’t great value.Great, friendly team who went above and beyond on customer service.

Unfortunately we arrived at the end of a football match for Leicester City and the roads around the stadium (and hotel) were all closed and we were unable to get to the hotel until the roads reopened around 18:00. Not ideal and we had not seen any warning of this.The reception was generally clean and the staff were friendly on check in.The room itself, although clean was in desperate need of refurbishment with marks on the carpet, adhesive tape on the headboard and not all of the sockets in the room worked.Breakfast was the usual Holiday Inn Express offering and was freshly cooked. However there were very few croissants on offer despite the hotel appearing to be quite full.
