I have stayed in many holiday inns before and every time I had an amazing experience,this evening the food was horrible.I complained to the duty manager and was told because we where on a coach trip of 45 people the budget didn’t cover better quality food and he’d pass my concern on to management.I would of thought the fact we where a coach trip and taking 25 bedrooms that we may of been treated better not good enough IAG.

Hi Paul M Thank you for your feedback We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the 3 course, 2 choice menu offered to you at your recent stay at the Holiday Inn EXPRESS. Out of the 48 persons dining that evening with the group that you were part of, there was only you that complained, we understand that not everybody has the same tastes in food, hence why try to give a varied offering. A full investigation into what was allegedly said by the Duty Manager is underway, as our produce is bought from the same companies/suppliers, whether that is for groups or individual guests and is of high quality. Everybody that enters our hotel is met with the same polite, friendly and courteous welcome and all of our staff members strive to give all of our guests a great guest experience, so to suggest that you were not treated better as you were part of a group is quite hurtful, disrespectful and untrue.

Stayed here a couple of times over covid, I don't know if I missed it, or it has been changed, but a truly top quality shower. Also an excellent check in by Matthew. Tried the gym this trip. Apart from the water dispenser being empty, an acceptable hotel gym, for cardio anyway. Can hotels please put towels in the gym,?

Hotel was in a good location and good road access to Manchester and the M6. It is situated next to rugby ground, leisure centre and Morrisons so a very noisy area. Particularly at night, lots of teenagers riding bikes and shouting in the car park, the second night the police were called due to a fight in the car park. The breakfast was lovely and lots of choice. The staff were great and really friendly. There is a lack of plug sockets in the rooms.

Hi 377SarahS377 Thank you for your feedback, we are happy to see that you enjoyed all aspects of your stay and the hotels location. There are 4 plug sockets in the room, 2 located at the desk, 1 located under the bedside shelf and 1 on the wall next to the full length mirror. Apologies for the noise disruption, this is not a regular occurrence and hope this will not deter you from staying with us again, should you be in the area. Many Thanks Heather Hotel Management Representative

Stayed two nights (25/26th July). We have stayed here on numerous occasions in the past and will do again. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. There was a good choice of hot and cold food for breakfast, which was all self-service. Breakfast room was clean with staff clearing and cleaning tables quickly. We didn’t eat here in the evening this time, but have in the past. Food was always good, but choice is limited, but this has never been a problem for us. The room was clean, and spacious with a shower over the bath, and shower gel/shampoo. I’m sure they have rooms with a walk-in shower as well. Our room was on the front of the hotel overlooking the car park, which is our usual choice. We think it is good value for money.

Easy check in. Nice reception/bar and casual dining area. Room average. A/C not available, bathroom unclean. Pillow like a brick. Unable to keep window over to compensate for lack of A/C due to cars doing 'donuts' in car park. Buffet breakfast average. Overcooked sausage. Lack of usual ingredients for full breakfast.

Hi SquashyG Thank you for your feedback. We use feedback, such as yours, to continuously make changes to our brand to improve the guest experience, however i would just like to add that i have checked with the Accommodation Manager to see who cleaned the room and also with the supervisor that checked the room and both passed with flying colours our rigorous inspection, there is a pillow menu in every guest room, meaning there are 1 soft pillow and 1 firm pillow per guest available within the room, maybe this is just down to your personal preference. Please accept our sincere apologies for the AC not being available in your room, we are in the process of having the whole system replaced and you should have been made aware of this at check in, there are fans provided. Having viewed several hours of CCTV i am unable to see any cars Doing "donuts" in the car park so i am at a loss to understand what it is that you may of heard. As with all of the Holiday Inn EXPRESS Brands breakfast comprises of 4 hot items, generally, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and beans, as well as a varied continental offering this is set by our Brand Owners, again i think the colour of the sausages is a personal preference. Hopefully we will see you again soon Many Thanks Heather Hotel Management Representative

TV a bit temperamental 5. Traffic pretty bad at rush hour Probably wouldn’t stay here again!

Interesting location near to a football club and a Morrissons. A game was playing but the room I was in was quiet as a mouse. Good service and friendly staff. I was a bit concerned in the morning as a coach trip of people were all at breakfast, but the staff quickly turned round the tables and were also attentive to clearing away as we went a long. Room was clean quiet and a good view on to a river and woodlands at the back.

Can't believe some of the reviews on here. We stayed for 1 night we found the staff so professional smart and polite. The whole hotel was immaculately clean including our room and bathroom. Breakfast was more than adequate with a good selection. The only problem we had was the mattress was rock hard. We were unable to sleep because we could not get comfortable. (but that may just be us) would stay again. Very good value for money. This was our first stay here and it knocks the socks of the other 2 hotels in leigh.
