Holiday Inn Darlington - A1 Scotch Corner, an IHG Hotel

1-night stay for a business trip. This hotel is in a convenient location right on the Scotch Corner junction. Room was clean and as expected, easy parking. The restaurant was OK for both breakfast and dinner, not fine dining but decent enough. I recommend this one over the next Holiday Inn further north.

Room was clean but a little dated. Peeling paint in the bathroom and a very low toilet! A busy hotel so don't expect a quiet stay!

Breakfast choice was good, service was great. Good value stay for the 3 nights. Cleanliness could be improved. The bedding wasn't changed, even though it visibly needed to be. Given a larger room due to having a travel cot. Travel cot provided was great standard. Overall, happy with the stay.

Lovely staff, excellent room, spotlessly clean. Lovely meal in the restaurant quite reasonably priced. Reception staff very knowledgeable.

Hotel nice and central. Rooms comfortable.

Fantastic hotel. Pool isn’t in the actual hotel so we didn’t try it, but the hotel is great. Very clean, very helpful staff, very comfortable.

Yet again put in an accessibility room without being informed despite booking weeks ahead.

Helpful and friendly staff.

For travellers going north and south it is conveniently located on the A. Nice enough and did the job.

Decent hotel, comfy room, good breakfast, good dinner.

Convenient location, parking, friendly staff, clean room. No complaints.

Hotel is very nice. Room and customer areas are spotless. Room is comfortable, though you can hear the road noise quite a bit. Staff are very friendly and helped me with the projector in the conference room. Breakfast was excellent. Thank you

The staff were the highlight of the stay. They were friendly, kind, caring and the community spirit was evident throughout every interaction. They were a real team. At a time when there was heavy staff, staff had walked half a mile leaving their car behind just so they could come into work and open up the gym and pool. It made our stay all the more special. Unfortunately the food menu was reduced and the restaurant was closed as there had been a problem with gas supply for the last week which hadn't been fixed. I had been looking forward to having dinner in the restaurant and having the sea bass. But the alternatives were lovely just not what I really wanted.

staff great , pool lovely for children but reception need to inform visitors that they need a pass from reception before walking round the pool as its external walk and if raining not good to have to return to get the pass breakfast lovely

Room ok for overnight use

Stayed here on route from Scotland to London. The hotel is right on the Scotch Corner roundabout, so very convenient for an overnight stop. Very functional hotel that does the job. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant good with nice range of food for dinner and breakfast.

Had a lovely stay. Quiet hotel with good staff. Leisure facilities are a bonus and overall the stay was value for money.

A decent, well located hotel with EV charge points and free parking. The staff were great from check in to the restaurant. The rooms are a good size and clean, bathroom was a little basic and tired but perfectly functional. The pillows are rubbish though. A fairly typical Holiday Inn and one that I will use again for its amenities.

It was an amazing stay, staff lovely and helpful, food was great in restaurant, rooms were really nice too, only negative would be bathroom! Tiles broken on floor where toilet is and window need a blind or curtain as tge frosted stickers are peeling off and people can see into bathroom! However this did not take away from an amazing stay. Anyone using pool should probably be made aware pre visit that you need a padlock for lockers also.

Omg best holiday inn I've stayed at (ok that's not a massive list but still). Nicolas was lovely at check in.
