Holiday Inn Rotherham Sheffield by IHG

Excellent Stay – I’ll Be Back I had a great experience staying at this hotel. The location was convenient enough for getting around but still quiet and relaxed. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful, which made the stay all the more enjoyable. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Amenities were more than adequate and everything worked as expected. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice, fresh fruit and well presented. A perfect start to each day. Overall a very pleasant stay. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in the area.

I understand why some of the reviews are about the style of the rooms. The hotel is about 25 years out of date on its interior design. But the staff is really top notch in service, the rooms are sparkling clean, and the beds are rather comfortable. We stopped for the night while doing a long road trip and were really impressed.

What they consider suitable sleeping arrangements for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers is ridiculous. The sofa bed is far too small for 2 growing kids. One pillow each is stingy. Room was very cold - radiator didn't work and air conditioning unit was ineffective at heating. The pool is dated and the changing rooms in my opinion, not fit for purpose. No privacy and small. My husband had to try and change our two kids in front of the rest of the male changing room. Ceiling tiles brown with mold. Sofa bed had brown stains on and was supposedly a suitable sleeping solution for an 11 and 13 year old! The eldest ended up sleeping on sofa cushions on the floor. Really changed my impression of holiday inn as a hotel chain and I will avoid in future.
