It's a slightly odd location, in Bradford Leisure Exchange, so not immediately obvious from the road.
There is a cinema, casino, bowling alley and a few restaurants literally right on the doorstep (as in 20-30 seconds walk across the courtyard). The parking is apparently in the Leisure Exchange car park, but the really good thing is the location opposite Bradford Interchange train station. I was able to leave my room within 5 minutes of the train departing, buy a ticket, and have no problems catching the train. You can be in Leeds city centre within 25 minutes from leaving the room.
The room is a standard Holiday Inn Express, enough room for a sofa-bed and a decent sized shower. Everything looked pretty clean and well-maintained. There appears to be no air-conditioning, the windows don't open very far, and it is very close to a major road - so it may not be ideal in summer. There is some road noise, even with the windows closed, but lots with the window open.
There is a good-sized breakfast area, which is quite pleasant, with plenty of windows.
The staff were very efficient, friendly and helpful.
It's usually available on the 2-for-1 rate, and the proximity to the train station makes it a decent choice for Leeds as well as Bradford.
