Hilton - Norwich

Advantages: Location - close to the airport
Disadvantages: Excellent if you like 80's retro and bad service

My husband and I were there for a friend's wedding in August 2002 and found the hotel very poor for what is supposed to be a top-notch chain. Notably, the bedrooms were fitted out in the 80's and are very dated in decor/bathrooms. There was no sign of air-conditioning. As for the service, they ran out of champagne before they got to us for the toasts! And this is at a wedding! We couldn't believe it... Breakfast the next morning was hilarious. ...

Review of Holiday Inn Norwich - North, Norwich

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 !

Review of Holiday Inn, Shepperton

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 ...

Basic ok for overnight stop

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: Basic ok for overnight and short stays.

Stayed at this hotel on several occassions, usually booked in the Travelodge Sale, and always been satisfied. Rooms are basic and good value when booked at discount, but we feel the Premier nearby offers better value if paying the full rate. Rooms have basic tea making facilities, bathrooms with showers over and basic tv packages. Beds have always been comfortable and extra bedding provided on request. No on site food service other than the shrink ...
...value. Hotel is next to the main shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead where there are several cafes, all a bit pricey. Several other restaurants nearby. If opens are open at night, noise can be a problems as this is on the race route around the town centre. Car park is small for the number of rooms and finding a space if arriving late at night can be a problem. Car parks are available nearby at a cost. ...
