Holiday Inn Washington, an IHG Hotel

easy access drive from A1, value for money, all staff were friendly and helpful. We trusted HolidayInn breakfast quality, but dining option was marvelous. We chose half board, dinner credit? no. They offer 3 course meal .... but we couldn't reach dessert.... we were so full. not posh restaurant service like a little food on a plate,but they serve good presentation, well balanced nutrition and volume! another impressed service was complementary in room refreshments. tea coffee biscuits on top of that glass bottled still water sparkling water, tin of pepsi, warkers crisps and kitkat! Holiday Inn you are so generous!

This hotel has a warm, friendly atmosphere, with truly wonderful staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I loved the little reminders to smile scattered throughout—it adds a charming touch to the experience. The rooms are dated and a bit shabby but for the price you can’t complain. I did see a dog in reception so I’m guessing they may allow dogs in this hotel too although I can’t be certain I am just assuming. The breakfast was fab!!! Very delicious and again the staff are very friendly, exactly what you would expect from a hotel in the North East.

Attended for great north run also a wedding on that evening but in a separate room and dint nterefer with other guests, service was still excellent. Hotels decor a little tied but dont this put you off, bathrooms recently renewed and beds really comfy. Surprisingly food in the bar and grill was really good well above what I expected very tasty, guest had £22 meal deal and I has the £23 tapas option, ample portion sizes and very good quality. Really great. Breakfast was excellent, and put on fruit and water for runners in reception, nice touch.

The staff were amazing and really helpful. They were able to accommodate looking after my scooter that was dropped off whilst we were still in traffic. The hotel was clean and good facilities. Free car park and breakfast included.

We stayed on new year's Eve. The hotel didn't have any events on so was very quiet which was just what we wanted. We were a bit shocked that the bar closed at 10pm though! The room was a good size, comfortable, and clean. Excellent value and super friendly staff.
