I have to say that the 2 nights B&B+Dinner on one night is excellent value for money - we stayed at coventry about a month ago on this deal. The hotel had swimming pool and the breakfast was full english+pastry/cheeses+meats/cerals etc all buffet style. The evening meal was full three courses (I had smoked salmon/turkey escolope/lemon cake) and very tasty. Highyl recommend it.
Am currently looking to book in bristol area and although there prices are slightly more at £150 for the same, i still think its a good deal.

I was told the DBB deal was not available at Coventry.

This is a useful thread.

I have to say that Holiday Inn has the most complex booking system I've ever seen. Which rates you get offered - for the same dates - appears to be random depending which page on their site you start from.

I am paying £99 for the 2 nights breakfast with 1 night dinner deal in a few weekends' time. This is a stonking value deal - that's for 2 adults and 1 child as "kids eat free". But many times I've looked at the same dates and not been offered the same deal.

Why would you WANT to stay in Ellesmere Port

I am not really leaping to the defence of Ellesmere Port (and I should I am from there) but we stayed recently with our four kids for a family do, and they were very accommodating in that most of the time you get the stock response "for health and safety reasons we will only allow 2 adults + 2 children in a room" but phoned the hotel directly and they were OK to let all six of us stay in a room (2 adults, 4 children under 10 - one of which in a cot) and the room was nice and big (obviously a bit cosy with all of us in, but we don't mind that). The restaurant was closed on the Sunday, but they maintained their policy of kids eat free, so we had two bar meals, and all the kids could have had a 3 course meal for free (in reality, we said chicken nuggets and chips x 4 will be fine) but given the bar meals were less than a tenner, it was good value all round and the food was fine.

They were also really kind to the kids and brought out some holiday inn "dollies" (male and female versions). Given I had got it on holiday inn points, I was delighted and grateful in equal measures.

Sorry this is chat rather than money saving tips, but if I have to give one tip it is to ring the hotel directly if you have more than 2 kids, the HI ellesmere port told me to book on the internet/HI points scheme for the cheaper deal, then ring her back to make sure we had the big room and the cot. I have emailed to thank them, which I don't do often enough.

I got a room at Leeds Garforth holiday inn for saturday night for £45 for 2 including full breakfast. Great price for a proper hotel with leisure facilities not like the Etap where we've braved it before! :rolleyes:

All the London ones were too expensive for my liking when I looked.

Our Holiday Inn stay (at Holiday Inn Rochester-Chatham, Kent) was very good. The room was nice; the pool was nice; the food was good; the staff were very pleasant.

They did try to over-charge us, though - despite it being "kids eat free" they tried to charge us for the kids' meals we had which amount to about £15.

We would stay there again, though.
