One of the worst places I've stayed in. Never again, I've stayed on the 1st floor, in room 106. It was very noisy inside from the nearby roads and the thin curtain do nothing to keep away the noise (or cold for that matter). The room was freezing. Tthe aircon setting was locked on the maximum level of 24 degrees (which it wasn't, as the air it blew was cool). The sticker on the aircon said this was because Holiday Inn likes 'to save environment'. Who are you kidding? Stop treating your customers like idiots please. It's even more insulting to us when your aircon can't heat the air at all and we're freezing. I had to call the reception and after half an hour of wait, I was finally presented with a protable heater. I should be so thankful! Oh, and connecting to their free wi-fi is far from simple! I couldn't connect for ages, then asked the reception only to get a reply that 'sometime this happens with laptops, nothing we can do'. Managed to connect later in the evening (problems with capacity?) only to get cut off every 10 -15 minutes. I wish I booked one of the small (comfy and warm) B&Bs nearby. Holiday Inn Banbury - never again!
