“Horrible experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I’d booked this room for a coach driver (he was driving me and a group of friend), who didn’t get to stay at the holiday inn, as they didn’t have any room booked in for him Gave them my confirmation number and pass code, which they had, but had the booking under someone else’s name, That someone else was my mothers name, which made no sense, however when I said that it’s clearly the room a payed for, the hotel told me that is was occupied! Who by I don’t know! As for my mother, she was back with the group I’d come up with. So I asked for another room, they had non. Still making no sense and getting upset by this point. I ask if they could do anything, their response was “there is nothing we can do, you’ll have to get in contact with booking.com” So at this point I had a coach drive with no where to stay, I had paid for a room, that’s was occupied by someone else. Thankfully we found another hotel which a family member had to pay for! This was one of the worse experiences I’ve ever had with a hotel!
The gentleman for booking.com, helped me out so much, I could have asked for a better person to deal with my needs! Thank you. I well be using booking.com again 😊

The room was freezing cold when we arrived. The radiator in the room never worked the whole time we were there. We managed to raise some heat by winding up the room thermostat to 32 degrees C and that just about got the room warm. We were on the point of asking to be moved to another room? This was the only downside to our stay.
The breakfast was excellent as was the location The bed was comfortable and the room clean. The TV and its controller worked. The shower was tremendous lots of hot water.
