“Night of hell ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Sofa Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Sadly the 2nd night of our 3 night stay was completely ruined by the totally ignorant and finish behaviour of our 3 neighbouring rooms . We were in room 321. From 10 in the evening in till after 8 the following morning they screamed , banged theme walls filled the area with smoke , played loud rap music plus plus plus . We complained to management on numerous occasion , and security attended to no avail . The 24 hr reception ignored all our calls after 12 pm. The only peace came the following morning when 1 of the group of 3 rooms was evicted and cleaning staff showed us the damage , which included vomit all over the bathrooms, holes punched and kicked through the walls and socks pulled over the smoke alarm system . The following morning we reported ,our night from hell to the reception guy Ian only to be told we would have to present proof . And if we wanted we could move out of the way , in case they did it again . Which we did to save ourselves anymore stress . Come on holiday inn express , we were later told that there were loads of complaints and your security , apparently till 4 am , ignored us all completely . The cleaning staff were a credit as they had to deal with the carnage , not only on day one when the first room were evicted , but also the 2nd morning when they found the other rooms trashed . Ian the very , unhelpful reception guy , later gave my wife a voucher for a drink each at the bar which she handed back . We have stayed in a huge amount of hotels including many times at holiday inn and would expect a good apology from management and a refund or at least a voucher for future room use as this situation was proved by your own staff and if you had reacted correctly to our many complaints , most of the damage could have been avoided .
Great check in, clean rooms and public spaces , fairly small rooms but we'll decorated and great views of racecourse . Breakfast buffet , warm with good choices . Parking great and free with booking .

It’s good that the hotel is owned by the racecourse, our room overlooked the racecourse and the car park is gated 👍🏻 The hotel is also super easy to find and easy commute to.

“Could have been a good birthday weekend ☹️”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room with Sofa Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I booked two rooms for ourselves and friends to celebrate my husbands birthday. Our stay was pleasant, however I was quite disappointed and responsible as the person booking the hotel that their stay wasn’t at all pleasant. They had two nights of disturbed sleep with extremely noisy neighbours with the Saturday night being kept awake till 2.45am. They did mention it to reception who said we are very sorry !! Then on the last morning the shower in their room wouldn’t work, again reported to reception who said we will let the house keeper know. I do feel that they should have been compensated in some way as a gesture of good. It left me feeling responsible for their very uncomfortable stay that otherwise could have been a weekend to remember for the good not the bad.

“Lazy male staff at reception left an enduring negative impression.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room with Sofa Bed
- • Stayed 3 nights
Very unfriendly male staff. Lazy and not very welcoming on arrival or at any other time. Curt and impatient attitude of male staff. Not receptive to guest requests. The hotel is run for the convenience of the staff, rather than the guests. I wished I had taken a photo of the male staff member slumped over the front counter at breakfast. Would not stay there again - experienced much better at other Express Inns.
