Holiday Inn Express Hotel London-Newbury Park

Why they have a Holiday Inn in Newbury Park, I don’t really know. It’s one of the great mysteries of life, although actually slightly less fascinating than how penguins find their way across the antarctic in the winter.
Newbury Park is famed for its… um, McDonalds, and it also has a decent sized B&Q — but apart from that, there’s not much to offer. The only reason to stay in Newbury Park would be when visiting for Christmas, but even then it would surely be preferable to stay at your Aunt Sheila’s.
See, the problem I have with the Holiday Inn is that it’s just as expensive as the hotels nearer to Central London. Why?. There is no logic to it. Well, there is some logic, especially if you’re a businessman in the hotel industry. But for the rest of us, it doesn’t seem right.
The hotel is nice enough though; sickeningly modern and perfect. Every room identical, every cup of tea identical, every hotel staff member identical. It’s kind of nice and pleasant though; if you’re on a road trip and fancy stopping by Newbury Park, you may as well stay here. On the plus side it has great access to the aforementioned Mcdonalds.
A modern, clean and quite lovely — if soulless and typical hotel.
