Express By Holiday Inn Greenock

The approach to the hotel is characterised by litter and over grown shrubs. The room we were in was very dated. The windows offered very little insulation from noise or the weather. The bathroom was very grubby with broken tiles, dirty grout and a dirty shower curtain. However the room did have a bed and curtains so met our needs to sleep. Breakfast is similarly basic but okay if just want a coffee.

The whole hotel is starting to look a bit shabby and threadbare - refurbishment needed. Grubby floors, loose tiles and missing grout in the bathrooms, laminated finish starting to peel off the cheap wooden panels on the walls in the bedrooms, bit of an odd smell in the lift some days. Walls and doors are paper-thin - don't expect an undisturbed night, especially at a weekend if you're in a room by the lift. The rooms with connecting doors have virtually no soundproofing - the conversation the two Irish guys were having in the room next to mine at 1am was clearly audible. Breakfast - seriously bad. Scrambled egg like rubber, greasy undercooked bacon, terrible sausages, dry and stale baked goods, poor-quality coffee, and fruit which has been sitting in the too-warm chiller for so long that the pineapple is fizzy when you put it in your mouth. Vending machines are cash-only, so no chance of a snack if you want to pay by card. Some of the staff were very pleasant and chatty. Others not so much.

Another great wee overnight at Holiday Inn Express Greenock, the staff as always were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The rooms are nice and quiet (so a good nights sleep!) but it’s also near to the Town. Totally recommend this hotel. 👍🏻
