Always seem to stay on the third floor. This will probably be the last time staying at this particular holiday inn simply down to the comfort of the beds. They're not really comfortable.
The staff we've spoke to are great, the breakfast is good, sometimes the apple juice is a bit too strong but not really a game changer for us.

Excellent choice for WB Studios
Very pleasant stay, excellent value for money and convenient for WB Studio Tour. Nice situation within short walk of a pub and a couple of restaurants on the other side of the canal. Staff were wonderful.

Basic budget chain. Variation in rooms.
Some rooms are better than others. I’d recommend you request a recently refurbished quiet one away from the talking lifts.

3 night stay with my daughter so we could commute into London for Ideal home exhibition and England women v USA at Wembley.
Good location next to rail station and view over the canal. Staff were very friendly and helpful on check-in and with advice regarding travel. Plenty choice at breakfast and replenished quickly.
Room was warm and clean. All in all great stay and would return.
