Good service
I found the service very good however I am not a fan of the dim lighting in the room. Satiated over to do work and the lighting made this very difficult

Parking problem
Requested parking when we booked and was told there was parking available. The morning of our arrival I called to confirm parking was available. The reception told me that there was no parking on site but to use the NCO car park which was only 3 mins walk away from the hote and to bring the ticket to reception so it could be validated. I did this and asked the guy at the reception if the parking was fully validated. He said ‘yes it’s all done’. 2 days later we departed and put the validated ticket into the machine. NCP stated there was £39 outstanding for parking. I spoke with NCP control who told me that the agreement with Holiday inn express was to provide a 25% on parking, not that the ticket was fully validated.
