First time staying at the Holiday Inn, Bicester. Plenty of parking for a discounted rate of 5 per night, which is not bad really. The finish of this hotel is very modern extremely clean. Customer service on check-inn was very good, even asked if there was any special measures they needed to know in the event of a fire. The rooms are lovely! Clean again! Great spot for a night or two. Will definitely stay here again!

Ac didn't work, no sleep first night
Ac not working, traffic noise bad so vouldn't open window. We asked to be moved to another room next day, they did but couldn't guarantee the ac would work. It did and we slept tge second night. Breakfast good, staff nice. Management needs to fix ac in all rooms, bad business for Holiday Inn franchise.

Great long weekend stay…. What excelled most was the amazing customer service provided by staff, special mention to Ausie at the reception, Emma at the restaurant and Nora at reception. These three were brilliant and made us feel valued as guests.
