Holiday Inn Express Shrewsbury by IHG
8/10 Good
"Have stayed here a few times and always clean, staff helpful"
Hawkstone Park Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great room, the suite was really spacious and clean. Nice decor, the balcony was good on a hot day. The squeaky bedroom floor was really annoying but didn't effect our stay in any way really. Lots of parking available and reception staff very helpful. One thing we didnt realise is that they offer reduced rates to hawkstone follies which we didnt know pre arrival. We had a drink in both bars and staff were very nice at both."
