"Stayed two night. Room was clean and fresh, bed was comfy (pillows weren’t the best but hey, it’s a Holiday Inn). Staff were friendly. Yes, the parking is £18 a day but even with that it was an inexpensive hotel. It’s probably about 15 mins’ walk into the city centre, uphill. Didn’t bother us in the slightest and it was nice being close to the river. Would stay again."
