The Holiday Inn is one of my favourite chains of hotels. This is due to the simplistic nature of their rooms; their many facilities available at usually each hotel; and their standard room rate.

I particularly enjoy the breakfast they provide at the Plymouth branch of their chain. This is because of the extensive nature of the food provided, the spacious tables and chairs arrangement (not too close to other guests, room to push your chair out a little, etc.) and the beautiful view of Kensington gardens.

However, they do have impersonal customer service, but isn't that what we all expect anyway from such a large business? Surely if we're just traveling for business and are tired most of the time, we don't need some customer service person asking us how we're doing every hour, do we?

I think for the money, chains of hotels like this are brilliant. If you didn't want the corporate feel, you could stay somewhere else and pay less.

Very difficult to find just past a new development of this harbour, Jury's Inn is a good, bargain hotel that, though part of a cheap hotel chain like travelodge, holiday inn etc, feels a bit more up-market. Very comfortable rooms with good sized bathrooms, big windows with panoramic views of london and a whole floor designed by laura ashley make this hotel a good place to spend the night in london on a budget. The night I went this new hotel had no hot water, instead of putting me off this brought out the friendly and helpful nature of the staff who even offered to transfer us to the heathrow branch of the hotel if we couldnt do without hot water. Moreover they were patient with us as we ordered 3 different takeaways from the surrounding area to our room. A bit out of the way but once you're there a good night's sleep.Very difficult to find just past a new development of this harbour, Jury's Inn is a good, bargain hotel that, though part of a cheap hotel chain like travelodge, holiday inn etc, feels a bit more up-market.

I ve been staying here since 20 Aug. The apartment is cosy and spacious. The maid service is satisfactory. Main disadvantage: It does nt have wireless in the apartments. It has ethernet but the hotel does not provide u with a cable and the connection is some times unreliable. Also the plugs are a little bigger than the adaptors and they do not fit. The neighborhood is one of the best and safest in London. The transportation towards the City is very good.
