Express By Holiday Inn

Its a bit dark in the rooms, and it is in the middle of almost nowhere, but the rooms are clean, warm, and have decent TVs. No restaurant though, which means that if you’re not driving, the only options are the Harvester next door or the Marriott next to the Harvester.
Compared to the Marriott, the quality of the rooms is definitely lower. But then it is normally cheaper.

After hot-​footing it across the globe from a great trip & fantastic hotel in Hong Kong, I had to go on a course in Peterborough. While not especially excited about the prospect I expected my stay in the Holiday Inn Express to be OK, I’ve used them many times before and they are generally good basic and clean places to stay.
I must say the staff here were especially friendly and imparted lots of local knowledge which made it easier for me to get around.
I did encounter a problem with a ‘lady’ playing music full blast at 6am, but a quick call to reception had that sorted out within minutes. The guy on the desk took the trouble to come and listen and then dealt with it.
Would recommend this place for business stays and as a base for exploring. Also the Harvester next door has really friendly staff — food is good but fairly limited, however free salad bar was a bonus.
