Impressed by Holiday Inn Express!
Advantages: Cheapish, comfortable, clean and new Disadvantages: on a ringroad - but not a problem really
...experience of a Holiday Inn Express Hotel, but having stayed at this hotel recently I am sure I will be using this chain again. I found the Holiday Inn Express Cheltenham to be excellent value for money,very clean, well situated and with all the elements for a peaceful and agreable overnight stay. Location: The hotel is situated right in the centre of Cheltenham, a town which is on the edge of the Cotswolds and an agreable destination in its ... ...white - the Holiday Inn Express new logo makes it easy to spot. Parking is in the neighbouring NCP carpark, which was secure enough, or the hotel is a short stroll from the High Street. The room: Now I imagine that all Holiday Inn Express rooms are pretty similar, so excuse me if you have stayed in one before and know exactly what they are like. We had booked a double room with a pull out sofa bed for our family of four, for a very reasonable ...

Lair Of The Gargoyle
Advantages: Nice bottle of wine for £27 Disadvantages: Scary things
...Kandinsky is part of the Alias group, whom also have hotels in Brighton and Exeter.
I had a business meeting in the hotels lounge/bar area and was rather eager to see inside one of the town's most prestigious hotels. As I marched into the reception area I was immediately taken back by the unusual aroma, what on earth was it? Was it some sort of incense, herbs perhaps; maybe something worse mothballs or damp, it was definitely an unusual but strangely ... ...I was finding the smell difficult to identify was due to the fact that the smell of food was slightly burying the aroma. However I figured if I concentrated for a while the smell would identify itself to me. While trying to hunt out this smell I had chance to examine the reception area, some nice furnishings give this hotel a certain chic nature, comfy looking chairs, impressive chunky tables and sideboards; yes very nice I thought. Then like someone ...

THE UNFRIENDLY CLUB'' -
Advantages: None Disadvantages: So many
...will refuse to do especially when they have taken £25 of my good earned cash.
They really do not care about their members, they seem to forget that it is us members that keep them in a job.
Avoid the camping and caravan club like the plague. ...

Holiday Inn Shepperton - prebooked? Beware - if you cancel
Advantages: NONE Disadvantages: ALL
...to cancel the stay with Holiday Inn re the current extreme bad weather problems for the journey by car from the North West for my 93 year old mother whose health would not be up to making such a potentially dangerous / uncertain journey.
Holiday Inn Shepperton have refused to give us a refund for cancellation of the booking which we find unbelievable given the current weather conditions.
Its the Holiday Inn attitude that pees me off, basically ... ...had a problem with a Holiday Inn booking in the '80s in the USA - wishing to transfer from a Holiday Inn in Hollywood where we had been staying to one at Anaheim - they made the transfer ok - but still charged us for the days stay not taken at Hollywood !
BEWARE FOLKS IF YOU MAKE A PREPAID BOOKING WITH HOLIDAY INNS AND THEN NEED TO CANCEL - THEY WILL STILL CHARGE YOU REGARDLESS !! BETTER NOT TO BOOK AT ALL AND JUST TURN UP IF YOU NEED TO USE HOLIDAY ...

A freezing cold with broken heating not so Welcome Cottage
Advantages: nice spacious family holiday home Disadvantages: no help contactable when heating broken in mid-winter
...in Norfolk - arranged though Welcome Cottages, although you can rent this place through other sites like Country Cottages too. The house is owned by Mike Franklin, who would appear to own many holiday lets - he certainly owns number 5 Bure Cottages too.
We arrived at 4pm in deep snow (with more falling) to a house so cold you could see your breath in the living room. The heating was broken and we couldn't find any instructions on who to contact ... ...times in 2 hours) or Welcome cottages (tried them at just after 5pm and they were shut - and no emergency number on ansaphone) Eventually (after 2 hours there with miserable cold 2 + 4 year old) a heating engineer we'd left a message with called us back and talked us through relighting the pilot light. We had to partly dismantle the kitchen cabinet to do this, with our own tools, and there's no way we'd have been able to work this out without the ...
