Parking is free; there's a nearby minimum wage Tesco - 'every penny counts' or something like that - and a Pizza Hut. The staff gave a warm welcome and when I realised I needed a document printed they very kindly and gracefully took trouble to print for me at short notice, despite being noticeably busy. The room was a good space, cosy very warm, darn comfy bed with a telly, tea and coffee facilities. I think ours was a premium room. For reasons unknown to me there is the ability to change the in-room bedroom lighting, greens thru blues and maybe more. I think it's called 'mood lighting' but it's a bit naff. These places always are a nuisance when trying to get through heavy internal doors with suitcases - here a room card was needed too just to make life more difficult - maybe there's the reason for mood lighting after all to dilute the exasperation to get from reception to a room. I do wish the designers of these places would come up with novel ideas to sort this out. The one thing we always avoid in these places is the food as it tends to be low grade (and relatively low and fairly priced) and prepared off site to a high degree but it's not an issue as a car is needed for most of these places so getting food that is appealing isn't too much of chore. The staff make it. We'd go back anytime.

Easy check in by machines in the 'lobby' although I was helped by the efficient, helpful friendly Andy who also took my breakfast order the following day. Comfortable bed and nice TV hub gadget in the room which also had a kettle and a hairdryer. Two double plugs situated at the desk to charge up phone, ipod etc. Would have been nice to have another plug by the bed at eye level but not a game changer. Only downside was that the shower curtain was a bit smelly in the otherwise neat and tidy bathroom.

They're somehow out of restaurant napkins and tissues. So they gave us drink napkins and toilet paper instead. I'm shocked that no one got in their car and went to a supply house or a market or something. It's Monday and they ran out of vegan breakfast sausage on Saturday, so they still don't have any. I know that things aren't immediate, but as part of the Hilton Doubletree network, how come they're running so lean and mean? I've never stayed at a hotel that just ran out of things and don't understand why they have no way to recover from that. As well, we're in a "King Deluxe" room, where the closed window blows in cold air (we showed a front desk team member how we rolled a towel onto the window sill to stop the cold air from going further. He explained that the "old windows" do that.). There are NO drawers except for a small piece of furniture that has 3 two foot wide drawers, and a shelf in the closet and on the open bedside tables. We opted to work out of our suitcases and just not unpack. We had the "Do not disturb" sign on the first day until we went out late afternoon, so our room was never cleaned and my husband took out our trash. The next day no one came so when we saw someone from Housekeeping, we asked if she could ask someone to clean our room because we had wet towels in the bathroom. I don't really understand what is going on, it's almost like Fawlty Towers. As nice as everyone is, I've stayed in nicer places - just about anywhere I've ever stayed. Even Days Inn has supplies. So, if you sneeze or want to wipe your mouth after eating, you better bring your own supplies.

Anyway, I sure wish I remember her name at this point. She was awesome. We arrived early. Like 9am or so. She had us wait a little bit and then let us check in. This was a true blessing. I went straight to sleep. She even asked if I was feeling better when I saw her later on. Unfortunately they did not have any of their famous warm cookies throughout our stay. Anyway, the room was spacious. But the wifi was not good for several hours. A couple guests went to the front desk when I did. Oh well, it was better I unplugged anyhow.

The hotel suggested we take a cab but we managed to pull our 24 inch luggage from the hotel. We cut through the Holiday Inn parking lot. I wouldn't recommend you walking unless you're very mobile. It took us under 15 minutes. We enjoyed the hotel. Very upbeat. We noticed a photo booth on the mezzanine and table tennis. We had a choice of 500 points or food credit $10 per person. I took the food credit as we were going to eat before leaving for the terminal the next morning. Spent about another $12 USD out of pocket. Standard breakfast food options. We also had hotel bar food for dinner the day we checked in after the two fish and chip places suggested by the hotel didn't work out. Ordered: * hubby had chicken wings * I had Mac n cheese balls * BIL had chicken curry * sis had egg rolls We each were given a free cocktail voucher. It was like a fruit punch. Also got local beer.

The bar on the ground floor is pretty cool and I enjoyed all the decor. We were given a complementary welcome drink, which was greatly appreciated. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Unfortunately, I only had about 90 minutes of sleep due to going to bed late and needing to get up early to catch a bus back to Heathrow. The bed and pillows were lovely and there was nice lighting, even a motion sensitive light under the bed so you didn't trip over things in the dark. I wouldn't hesitate to book this hotel again. It was nicer than I anticipated and felt "cool" and "trendy." Drink were a bit pricy but there are countless options within a short walk.

It's was fun watching but still understand the game :-) As a Diamond member, really bummed that lounge is closed and the only replacement is a drink coupon - how is that a fair adjustment?? Shouldn't it be a $20-30 credit at the restaurant? However, the breakfast buffet is quite nice, the food is very good with a great variety.

The other issue was without a/c in the room, it was a bit hotter than I would have liked. Shouldn't have been a problem, but the windows have a lock to prevent opening very far, so couldn't get the cold night air into the room. Had a fan, which made it acceptable. Very clean bathroom. There is a coin only vending machine in the lobby, to get cold drinks. Would have liked ice making or a refrigerator in the room, as I couldn't get my drinks cold. Had pump dispenser of shampoo/soap in shower. No other tolietries provided. I liked the location as it was about a .7 mile walk to the city center, so it was nice and quiet, but not too far to get to restaurants, etc. We needed to go to a laundry and the closest we found was about a mile walk. The #5 bus from E. Cowes was 3.50 or so and dropped us off at the road for a 2 minute walk to the hotel. Our room #52 was on the quay side which was fairly quiet and pretty to look out on.
