I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Brent Cross on business recently, and I was a little disappointed at the overall offering. The hotel is situated more than a little walk from the local tube station (£5GBP in a minicab), but the hotel put on transportation, so take the hotel number and call when you get to the tube station. Note: this service is only available between 8am and 10pm.

The rooms were reasonably modern, although for quite a new hotel I think they are nearing the refurbishment time. The food was OK; standard fayre, and the staff were helpful. No pool unfortunately.
