Holiday Inn Express - Barrow-in-Furness & South Lakes, an IHG Hotel

Location is very central,for transport,local shops, cafes and entertainment. Breakfast is lovely,hot,and various cereals,toast and everything you'd expect to set yr day. Staff are helpful,pleasant,and nothing too much trouble. Busy at times with coach parties,but didn't disrupt the ongoing day. Good selection of beers/spirits and was pleasant to sit in the seating area,and of course TV showing how our GB teams were getting on(Olympics) Housekeeping were brilliant and room always tidy,and replenishment of tea/coffee/milk. Holiday inn should be pleased that it chose barrow-in-furness for its location. My first stay here was a year ago and nothing had changed .. except the weather.

The staff we're amazing, so polite and couldnt do enough for you. The place was spotless and the staff we're constantly busy trying to keep it that way. The room was a good size, the aircon worked, the bathroom and bedroom were spotless (well done housekeeping) everything was pleasant. We went down for breakfast around 9:30 and a few things had run out as it was quite busy, however the staff we're all over it trying to restock breakfast items and cutlery. Withing just a few minutes everything was in full swing again. It was quite impressive to watch. So well done team!! The sofa bed wasnt terrible either, my daughter had a great night stay there. Ths Holiday inn in wakefield J40 however, you could literally see the springs of the sofa bed through the material. It was terrible. Extremely poor. Room 132 if anyone wants to know. An absolute night and day contrast compared to our disaster stay at Holiday Inn Wakefield J40. Wakefields site was terrible and an embarrassment to stay in. The staff had ZERO interest in working or helping guests, food was genuinely disgusting and the place dirty. Soooo glad Barrow in Furness is nothing like Wakefield. Goes to show theyre not all operated the same and therefor the pitfalls and lack of control from senior management. Surely as a brand you'd want everything to be the same high standard across the board. These senior managers need to get a grip. But anyway, Barrow was a delight and Im so happy I stayed there. Will definitely return and use Barrow Holiday Inn again. Thankyou Ladies and Gents for all your hard work and commitment to your guests. It shows!!! Be proud of yourselves and keep up ths good work! I highly recommend Barrow In Furness

We booked the Holiday Inn fir 2 nights for Dave’s Day . The bikers were travelling from London to Barrow in Furness in honour of Dave Myers ( Hairy Bikers) and we wanted to be there as part of the celebration. We could not have booked a more perfect location… you could see the final stopping place outside of the hotel window and the town square where a stage had been set up. This hotel proved to be brilliant… from the warm reception on arrival, the attentive staff throughout our stay -and May I say, they worked very hard considering there were 46+ K bikers hit the town…the hotel was full!! Hats off to them fir their constant courtesy and willingness to help. The hotel was spacious, comfortable and clean with a lift for easier room access. We had free car parking and WiFi ( which was a first) compared to other such chain hotels. The part We loved the most was the kind gesture of the brochure and wooden spoon for Daves Day which was left in our room for us when we returned from a day of celebration. Thankyou so much… I think you have set the bar for hotels such as this and it will certainly be our first choice for future stays around the country.

This hotel was fabulous! Room was very spacious, spotless and had a huge comfy bed! Shower was modern and powerful. Staff were wonderful, helpful and so friendly. The manager Jen was credit to the Holiday Inn chain. Breakfast was tremendous, one of the best we have ever had in a Holiday Inn or any chain hotel of it's kind. Lots of choice, quality produce, very well cooked and presented. Fruit and bread items were very fresh. We attended for Dave Day and were part of the bike procession. There was parking for the motorbike and a towel to wipe the wet seat the next day!! They even had placed a commemorative gift of the event in our room which was such a lovely and thoughtful touch.

Everything. The location, the cleanliness, the fresh fruit on offer, comfy seating area downstairs, the food, the fact you can take your coffee and breakfast on the go is fab, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Robert was very welcoming and attentive. We will most definitely be back in the future.
