Great location, clean, smart rooms and bright well decorated public areas.
Wonderfully friendly staff throughout- reception, bar and at breakfast! Really made our reunion. Incredibly good value accommodation and breakfast add on.
Lifts are a bit slow!

Stayed here for 5 nights during a business trip and must say the best Holiday inn I have stayed in in a long time. Staff were friendly and welcoming both on reception and the bar/restaurant.
Modern styling in communal and bedrooms, all clean and tidy.
Food in restaurant is good with a wide choice. Starbucks coffee in bar was a bonus. Will definitely stay here again.

Considering this is at the budget end of Hotels, I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were both efficient, friendly and helpful. The rooms were a decent size and very clean and well equipped. There is free parking at the hotel too.

Stayed 1 night. Parking is limited but managed to find a space at 730pm. However later that evening I noticed I was blocked in but luckily it had moved by the time I needed to leave in the morning.
Staff very friendly especially the girls on checkin.
Room was fine except the lighting which was not great when fitting my contact lenses lol.. Nice message written by the Housekeeper saying she hoped I enjoyed my stay. batteries needed replacing in the TV control which I mentioned when checking out.
Nice bar and lovely breakfast.

This hotel exceeded expectations. For the price I expected from but tolerable in reality I was cheerfully greeted on arrival; they knew of my booking immediately and I was handed a room key very quickly.
The room was nice and comfortable twin bed but I was alone so no issue there. The bed was softer than I would normally choose but was actually very comfortable. Most importantly for me the room had a bath not just a shower.
The restaurant serves basic but good food and wine at reasonable prices. Service was prompt and friendly.
Breakfast was excellent. All served at a good temperature and the black pudding was perfectly cooked.
Parking is too limited for the number of rooms; they really should comp parking at the bus station car park next door. Other than this the hotel is far better than I would ever have expected.

Especially being away from home at this time of the year, friendly staff, cosy room, parking spaces available. Great location next to Bus Station and short walk away from city centre shopping etc. Dined at the restaurant on 1st night and both service and food were good. Tried out the mini gym, does exactly what it says 'on the tin' basic but did the trick, might be busy during peak seasons though. Grilled cajun chicken and sticky toffee for dinner 👍

Stayed for a couple of nights, bed was super comfy, breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Had an adjoining door in my room and could hear everything in the room next door which was a wee bit annoying especially when their alarm went off really early.

A colleague of mine booked an event room here for a session I was running. I haven't been here before despite living locally for many years. I didn't really know what to expect.
Arrived and checked in ok, the event manager greeted us and showed us to the room (Ribblesdale) and it was all really well organised with the usual pads and pens, flip chart etc. VGA connectivity for my laptop for use with their projector, very tidy for wires. There were 10 of us in total, the room is ok for probably up to 15 comfortably with tables and chairs. There is AC.
I gather the cost was around £30 / head, this included bottled water for the tables, unlimited tea/coffee flask refills plus use of their coffee machine in the lobby area. Pastries in the morning, sweets on the table, buffet lunch which was sandwiches, chips, salad, quiche etc., dessert. They cater for vegetarians and vegans and one of our party ordered from the regular menu in the morning and it was prepped ready for lunch so there was no time issue with serving up. In the afternoon we had a nice treat of jam and fresh cream scones with something different served without asking that was vegan friendly.
The bar area and restaurant were very smart and clean and the toilets spotless. All the staff were lovely, in particular Amanda who looked after us for whom nothing was too much trouble.
Be aware parking is very limited and what little there is very squashy. You can park at the nearby bus station.
Obviously I can't comment on the accommodation but, for my small event, everything was excellent and highly recommended.

The renovations are now complete and the hotel is like new. It is a 15 minute or £6.50 taxi ride from the train station. It is slap bang in front of the architecturally important bus station. It is handy for the shops and restaurants, although I do feel the area is a little desolate at night.
Check in was efficient and helpful. My room was very comfortable: small but perfectly formed. The new chairs are very good to sit on. The bed was made for sweet dreams. There is a large, flat screen TV (although, annoyingly, no ITV 3 for some reason - have they not retuned?) There is an iron and board, as well as tea/coffee making facilities and a well lit desk to work at. I had a modern and spotlessly clean bathroom.
The staff in the bar and restaurant are really good ambassadors for the hotel: I was actually welcomed back, which makes such a difference! I think they may be a mother and son team - keep up the good work... Breakfast was well presented and well cooked (although the fruit salad could be a bit more varied in content and the coffee stronger).
I paid just under £80 for the night, which seemed very reasonable for B&B.
