Walking into the room feels like giving your tired brain a gentle, corporate hug. It’s clean, it’s bright, and it doesn’t pretend to be a five-star palace—thank goodness. You get a proper desk if you’re feeling fancy and need to answer emails while pretending you’re a CEO. The bed? Oh, it’s that magical kind of firm where you sink in just enough to forget about the £9.99 you spent on motorway crisps.
Oh, and the bathroom is spotless. The shower pressure is strong enough to power-wash your soul clean after a long day. You might even find yourself humming the “Holiday Inn Express” jingle while lathering up. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.
The Small But Mighty Details
Let’s talk about the free Wi-Fi. It actually works! No buffering, no mysterious disconnections at 2 a.m. when you’re trying to stream a cat video. It’s like the hotel gods took pity on us mere mortals. And the TV? Decent, with enough channels to argue about which reality show is the worst.
There’s also a kettle and tea-making facilities. Pro tip: bring your own favorite mug if you’re a tea snob—the cups are a bit small, but hey, they’re free.
