O dear, o dear, o dear.
So when I had to stay in 1, Bexley and 2, Holiday Inn for work I never expected a 5* place but I honestly thought they could achieve a solid 3*
How wrong I was! The place is bloody expensive at £149 a night inc breakfast - which is just ridiculous, even if inside the M25.
The service at reception although friendly was crass and sooo slow. You also can't settle your bill until the next morning and with a 4am wake up time this is just not ideal!
With regards to my ridiculously early start I asked for a wake up call... which again I never got. Apparently my colleague received one 10 minutes later than my requested time but had never asked for one! Luckily I had set my alarm.
The lounge area downstairs stank of their food - a mixture of curries and pies and was somewhere I didn't feel welcome or could relax in.
Finally the rooms - although the bed was comfy enough, the pillows were lumpy and the room quite cold. The bathroom was grotty and smelled a little funny.
Overall not a nice stay! read more
