Stayed here as a Base for Horseracing
Big Hotel,plenty of Parking.Spa/Pool is off site.
Our Room was quite small,and we did have issues with the heating not working too well.
Room was clean,Bathroom good with all amenities.
TV was big,but had intermittent glitches with the picture,but nothing too bad.
Breakfast was good,buffet style,so no problems there.
The Spa/Pool/Gym is off site up at the top of the Car Park,which can be a chilly walk.
All in all,good Hotel with decent Rooms,Breakfast,and Pool.

My experience from entrance to reception was excellent, making me feel instantly at ease. It was clear that all staff members were dedicated and proud of their work, consistently going out of their way to assist guests. The breakfasts were truly wonderful and delicious! I especially want to commend Steve, the breakfast chef, whose outstanding cooking was matched only by his incredibly cheerful smile.

Absolutely ghastly experience!! I’ve never been in a doss house but this was our assessment of this alleged hotel! If we hadn’t arrived so late we would have turned on our heels and left!! Left the disgusting room to go to the “restaurant”. The food was limited and as equally disgusting. Excuses offered were as a result of a “power cut” then “due to staff shortages” we were advised that it’ll be ok as there will be a chef in the morning! The breakfast marginally better; my boiled egg was ice cold as it had obviously been cooked the day before (hopefully) and been refrigerated. The room: cobwebs and dust aplenty!! Mold and grime aplenty around the windows; peeling paint, stains ++++ and torn bedraggled lamp shades. The sheets and towels were clean but no shower gel in the pump dispenser so had to use shampoo! Scared to place a barefoot anywhere!! The senior management of Holiday Inn need to sort this establishment out or shut it down!!

Stayed here for one night whilst travelling home excellent location sitting just off the A1 at the junction of the A66, we took the half board offer which got us a three course meal each or £35 each to spend on the main menu, and breakfast the following morning, the total price was £186 with we thought was good value for money. The food was of a very high standard and plenty of choice, staff are warm and friendly, room was an excellent size bed very comfortable all amenities where provided along with ample towels, we encountered no issues with our stay and would highly recommend.

This was an okay one night stopover but I wouldn’t want to stay longer. My room was miles away from reception and absolutely freezing - like a fridge. It was very dated and this place clearly needs a refurbishment to bring it up to other IHG standards. The little heater took the chill off, but the bathroom was freezing and the toilet seat was l like a block of ice! It was so cold I didn’t want to shower - that’s not good enough, IHG I would not want to be here December, January or February when the cold really kicks in! Food was decent enough. This hotel needs proper heating. At the cost, £100 a night, I expect more for my money and next time I need a night stop on a long journey, I will stop at Days Inn Wetherby Services, where the rooms are warm and comfy for a lot less money. I’ve given 3 Stars as it wasn’t awful but I would never stay again.
