Holiday Inn Express, Southampton Review

My wife and I had the unfortunate experience of staying here 29/4 and 30/4.

The hotel itself is fine- good clean rooms and decent price etc BUT the whole hotel was filled and we really do mean filled with families with sub-school aged children. Some well behaved but an awful lot not. Whatever if your thing is to spend a weekend surrounded by noisy children running amok occupying every available seat then this is certainly for you.

Apparently a new kiddies theme park was opened nearby at the beginning of April, so maybe for anyone wanting a peaceful break it might be best to avoid all weekends and school holidays.
