I came up from Kent to go to a conference at Magna and chose this as a less expensive option hotel for my stay.
Staff were friendly and courteous without exception.
The room was basic but well maintained and clean.
There was tea and coffee but no water and no mini fridge to keep anything cool. I prefer a fridge as I have injections I have to keep chilled. Luckily, my stay wasn’t longer or this would have been an issue. I managed to lock myself out of the bathroom due to a faulty catch, but staff had someone up in a few minutes.
The food was pub grub and a little expensive for what it was.
I watched the England match in the bar area, sound on both tv’s was faulty. Each tv having a different fault.
Otherwise a pleasant stay.

We stay at holiday inn Rotherham a couple of times a year but the property is getting very run down now. I tried to shut the window as the main road is very noisy and pulled the handle off! I reported it to maintenance but it never got fixed. The weather was particularly hot this weekend and the aircon was not working very well so I ask for someone to pop and have a look at it and cloe on reception was very rude she basically told be it was not her problem and maintenance had gone home eventually someone did come and managed to lower temperature a little but still not great. I don’t believe a customer service desk is a great option this particular member of staff. The breakfast was really nice and breakfast staff very friendly and helpful. We used the pool all 4 days and it was lovely. Young lifeguard on the Saturday night was lovely and had to deal with big clean up in the hot tub but did it with a smile on his face. Overall it wasn’t worth the nearly £900 we spent on the 4 nights.

The hotel was great. The swimming pool and Sauna were also great and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. However, I had consistent issues with the key cards, which kept disabling my room key. There was a clock change on day 2 of 5, and the problem was still there. I had to go back downstairs every day to reconfigure my keys. This was frustrating, and I made this known to the hotel staff.

We were allocated a room for a disabled person even though neither of us are disabled or had requested it. However we did appreciate the wet room rather than a bath with shower over. But, and a big but for any traveller, there was nowhere in the bathroom to place toiletries, razors, toothbrushes, deodorant, hairbrushes etc etc. All the things that are needed within reach of the sink. We ended up dragging the chair in the shower to the sink in order to have our toilet bags close without them being placed on the floor. A normal bathroom has a counter either side of the sink. Has no-one ever thought about where a disabled person would put their toiletries. If on the floor they would be out of reach for a wheelchair user. It would be nice if the manager could address this problem and write to me to explain their reasoning for this error. Otherwise the bed was comfy and other services satisfactory.

Staff, service and food were excellent. Exactly when you'd come to expect from a Holiday Inn. Sadly however the room looked tired and in need of some much needed TLC with a distinct lack of beside plugs and although the room was at far end of the building and away from general foot traffic it was right above the air handling units and plant so was noisey at night.
The pool and locker rooms werent much better. The locker room was dirty (however, it was late in the day) and there was a nasty smell and the pool generally needed a refresh.
All in all.though if you just need a base for a few days close to the motorway and Meadowhall with good food then this is worth a look.

I was very disappointed with the stay. The room was badly in need of decorating, cleaning and repairing. The window was wide open when I arrived; maybe to ‘air’ and disguise the musty smell? The ancient and dirty looking air con unit provided a source of heat but there was a constant draught from the windows. When I contacted Reception, they came to check that the ‘heater’ was working but didn’t show any concern about the wind which was blowing through the windows which would not close properly. They brought me a small fan heater and I was told it was the only one left!! It was useless as it was incredibly noisy and just stirred up the dust in the room. The hotel is extremely overpriced for the standard of the rooms.
The only positive I took from the Holiday Inn, was the friendliness of the reception staff. I would not return to the hotel and would definitely not recommend it.

The room was very clean, fresh and tidy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We did not have breakfast. Air conditioning worked wells, turned it up high because it was December with a little snow and freezing. Had to turn it down as it got to warm. The only thing I found missing was no biscuits in the room. First hotel we have been to that do not have biscuits. In addition to this, there was no information in the room that told us what times were for example, nothing telling us what time the leisure facility’s were open/closed. What time was check out.

Breakfast provided a good range, but eggs were overdone when cooked to order. Pool, sauna and steam room is a bonus and staff friendly and helpful. Ate in restaurant one night for convenience, but was a long wait despite not being busy. Staff were proactive in apologising for the wait and offering a round of free drinks.

Uncomfortable Stay – Poor Cleanliness and Heater I

We stayed at this hotel for two nights, but the experience was disappointing. The room was not clean, and there was a constant dusty smell. The heater wasn’t working properly, and the room was too cold, making it difficult to sleep. When we turned the heater on, it released a muddy smell, which showed it hadn’t been serviced in a while. Overall, the room cleanliness and maintenance need a lot of improvement.

Overall the stay was good. Would have made it excellent if the property was in top condition. Property needs some work done to bring it up to standard. Many areas including within room, you can see it's starting to become run down with flaking paint, broken radiators, ripped furniture. Also bathrooms could do with a proper clean as mold could be seen around the bathtub seals.

However, for me, this all wasn't a big concern and the service received from the staff, more than made up for it. Have to give 10/10 to the staff for their service and professionalism especially as I required milk for my daughter and with no microwave/fridge in the room, had to keep going down to the bar/coffee area to get warm/hot milk at different times of the day which was provided without any issues and without charge even though I was more than willing to pay for it.

Free parking, swimming pool, breakfast etc was all more of a bonus for me.

Family stay - pros & cons

Friendly and welcoming staff, spacious room and lovely big breakfast!
However, the shower was difficult to use and the drain was slow to empty so the bath half filled during the shower.
The pool was a nice bonus for the kids with towels included making it easy to access during our short stay. But it was far too busy in the morning leaving only a small area available for children to swim (one lane and a shallow area). My partner was at the edge of the lane divider of the family area to watch the kids but he was hit in the head by another guest swimming on the other side, who didn't apologise! We had only been in a few minutes and this caused him to exit the pool early. More adult guests arriving & then swimming in the \"family area\" made me feel uneasy about the kids safety so we didn't stay long. This wasn't the hotels fault and if we had gone at a different time, it might have felt better. The kids still had fun and enjoyed a large breakfast afterwards and the staff were friendly and helpful making them pancakes. There was also a small play area in the lobby so we could relax while the kids played for a bit.
