Advantages: Very clean, excellent value for money, breakfast provided. Disadvantages: A few more nearby dining options would make it a perfect place to stay.
I stayed here for a few nights in October 2007 whilst visiting Oxford.
The parking lot is large, providing more than ample space even during a fully-booked night. Being right next to the KassamStadium, this hotel is super for those wanting to partake in watching Oxford United.
Check-in was very fast and efficient; the staff were very welcoming and polite. Our rooms were on the third floor which was just a short elevator ride from the lobby.
The rooms themselves were spotless. Nicely arranged, with a good sized sofa bed in the room too. The bathroom area was incredibly clean and modern. No bathtub is provided, but the power showers are excellent. Plastic cups, shower caps, soap, face towels are provided in the bathroom. A nice touch: if you forget any bathroom items then you can ask reception for complementary ...

, bath foam/shower gel and body cream, a shower cap, nail file, sewing kit and shoe shine.
The main feature of the rooms is that they include wooden shutters instead of curtains which are extremely effective at blacking out the room.
Internet Access
High-speed Internet access is available in all rooms. It costs £14.99 for 24 hours or £75.00 for a week.
Price
The hotel can be very expensive if you just turn up and ask for a room so it is best to pre-book or keep an eye out for the many deals that HolidayInn offers on its website or in the national press. I usually pay between £50 and £75 per room per night which includes a substantial breakfast, although the hotel regularly offers a deal over a weekend where you get two nights bed and breakfast and one dinner for two people for approximately £99 per room per night.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Holiday Inn, Oxford
Advantages: Great Price. Good location for roads. Next to park and ride, cheaper than paying for parking! Disadvantages: Another Holiday Inn, nothing that unique about it. Surly reception staff.
there was plenty of time to take the breakfast. The quality of food was good and it managed to quell my hunger before my swim!
Check out
Check out was at 12 noon and after returning to the reception desk my bill was presented by a more friendly clerk than the one who checked me in and was settled with ease. Our weekend in Oxford was over and I would certainly consider returning again.
Summary
If you are looking for a good location for Oxford then the HolidayInn is certainly worth considering. Although not in the city centre, the location is close enough and you will save money compared to a city centre property.
Everything about the property is very HolidayInn. You will not be wowed but you will have a comfortable stay and to be fair for the price, who can really complain?
If you want to explore Oxford with or without a family ...
