We stayed as part of a group package with the Frog & Bucket comedy club. The rooms are very good and clean. The bar area was great. The selection at breakfast was excellent. The only problem was the small car park, but there is a large multi story car park next door.

Overnight stay on way up to Pitlochry with Shearings Holidays
Usual Holiday Inn Standards,good room-very clean and modern.
Food choice was a bit limited,but that was because we were on a Coach Holiday,only downside
it was chaos at Breakfast-could not cope with 2 Coaches at the same Time-Breakfast was ok

Was a bit surprised at the last reviews as I found it excellent for a 3star hotel, the room was excellent very clean the bathroom was also very clean with fresh towels and a nice size bath, the shower was very powerful and there was shampoo and shower gel provided, parking is limited to first come first served which is fair, there is parking right facing the hotel, the staff at breakfast where excellent and cleared away very quickly, the choice was very good with hot and cold food available from cereal and fruits to porrige, and a full English hot breakfast, you would be poor to complain about the selection offered as there was a great choice for breakfast, although only stayed for one night would happily stay again, it's about two miles to the hotel from the M6 so easy to get back to the motorway and a short walk to the city centre

We have been staying here for a lot of years and its main attraction is its location, it is only a short walk to the city centre and very close to an excellent Chinese restaurant called Great Times. Great prices can be found online for this hotel, I used the holiday inn app and got a double room for a Friday night for £39, breakfast was £10 extra per couple which is excellent value as it is an all you can eat style buffet catering for all tastes. The rooms are alway clean, the staff are very helpful. The only thing that I'd say against this hotel is the lack of car parking outside the hotel, there aren't enough spaces for the numbers of rooms but you can park at the adjacent multistorey carpark but we prefer to have the car where we can see it from the hotel.

Good location with excellent rooms and facilities.Attitude of staff was excellent,Value for money was also excellent.
Problem with limited car parking for guests - made worse by staff grabbing lots of the spaces for their own cars.Not very good and we were not impressed.We wondered if the Hotel General Manager condoned this.
Would stay again - will arrive in good time to secure parking place.Parking issue took the edge off a really good stay.

The wedding rooms were lovely but the bar was expensive. The bed was comfortable and the room was fine but not very modern. We couldn't leave the window open as it was noisy so it was very warm. Hotels.com said the rooms had air conditioning but they didn't unfortunately.

We stayed for a concert at the Macron Stadium, hotel was clean and staff friendly and helpful. Bar and Food a bit overpriced and room too hot but put that down too recent hot weather could probably do with some air conditioning in room. Room was a decent size and bed was comfortable.
Handy for stadium only about a 25 minute walk and plenty of restaurants and bars at the nearby retail park.
Would have given 5 stars but bar and food prices too high (15.95 for breakfast!)

Stayed a few times over the years and haven’t had any issues, great location to get to but can be hard to get back on motorway at peak times, nice to see some money being spent on redecorating reception and hopefully they will be moving into rooms soon as they feel very dated.
As said rooms are dated but you have everything you need, large comfy bed and okay TV, I say okay as it’s a smaller set considering the size of room. Only down side during this hot period is rooms have no air con and no fan was available.
Didn’t eat dinner but the breakfast is decent.

As my preferred hotel in the local area I'd booked a 3 night stay. Our corporate booking system had managed to arrange a "breakfast inclusive" rate on this occasion, but only the basic room type (some you win...)
I was accompanied by a colleague, which was fortunate as, despite my request for a room in the rear accommodation block I'd been allocated one in the front block facing the road. Fortunately my colleague (who claims to be able to sleep through a hurricane) was happy to swap rooms with me, and his room - then mine - was as originally requested. We checked in early, at around 13:30, but our rooms were ready so we dropped off our bags.
On returning to the hotel later that evening we had the opportunity to use the leisure facilities before going out to dinner nearby. Sadly the Jacuzzi was out of action, but the main pool was open and the steam room and sauna were working fine.
My room was hot at the end of July, but the hotel provided a fan on request. Using this at an open window managed to keep the temperatures sufficiently cool overnight, and a good nights sleep was possible (mainly due to being able to leave the window open as I was in the rear accommodation block - too noisy IMO if facing the road in the front block, even with the window closed)
Breakfast each day had a good selection of hot and cold options available (buffet style) but for some reason there were no eggs available on the first two days, and having a later breakfast on the last day of my stay the staff noted that they only had 8 remaining whilst I waited in the queue - there is a Tesco less than 2 miles away folks!
Other than "egg-gate" at breakfast I had a pleasant stay. The staff as always were attentive and helpful, and I'll be sure to stay here the next time I'm in the area.

A bit of a rabbit warren, fraying at the edges.
Whilst service was usually good, advertised items at the bar weren't available.
On a hot summer's evening, the lack of bedroom air conditioning or the ability to open a window more than a few inches made for a less than ideal evening.
Having said that, at least the meal was good and the same again for breakfast.
