On this occasion I was left eating my words

Advantages: Conveniently located, Easy to find, pets allowed
Disadvantages: No on site dining facilities or room service

...wouldn't drag me into a Holiday Inn Express (aka Express by Holiday Inn), but I needed somewhere reasonably priced to stay near Staffordshire Country Show Ground that would accept dogs. My former Stafford hideaway, the Tillington Hall won't consider dogs unless they are guide dogs, and all the other 'larger chains' wouldn't either, so it was the HI Express or get up VERY early on the Thursday morning. LOCATION With 103 Guest rooms, it is conveniently ...
...commonly known as Express by Holiday Inn, STAFFORD M6, JCT.13. It is an ideal location for visits to Stafford, Alton Towers, Staffordshire University, the Potteries and the Staffordshire County Show Ground. CHECK-IN Reception was busy, alongside a bar, and I am sorry to say, very understaffed - sadly this seems to be a common feature of UK hotels in current times. That said, the staff were friendly and efficient when it came to check in, dealing ...

Review of Holiday Inn Express, Stafford

EXPRESS by HOLIDAY INN great for family value.

Advantages: Good location but not in City centre.
Disadvantages: None if booked for what it is for.

We were to attend a Family Wedding, the reception to be held at the Marriott Hotel Peterborough. Needed a good value Hotel for the group and found this Hotel was just across the road from the Marriott. Booked thru BOOKING.COM and got three rooms. 1 Double, 1 Room for two adults and one child, 1 Room for two adults and two children. The Room prices were all the same £45 per night, with breakfast. Children sharing a room with two adults come free. ...
...wedding was at 12 o'clock so did not want to rush on the Sat morning. We wre due to arrive at 8 Fri Evening, I emailed this to the hotel and received a swift reply that this had been noted on our reservation. There is a link on the hotel web site for travel details, it is located just off the A1 next to the Peterborough Showground, so if struggling follow any sigh you see for the Show Ground, the Hotel is next to the entrance.. Check in was very ...

Review of Express by Holiday Inn, Peterborough

You'd be better off at a campsite!

Advantages: Umm...
Disadvantages: Just about everything, I think!

Ah, the George. Local to me, last October I went in for Sunday lunch with a friend. I should have heard the warning bells ringing when I was served barely-cooked beef and cold cauliflower, but everyone makes mistakes - right? The waitress was not at all apologetic; she merely looked inconvenienced; however she did return with a fresh meal. Hurrah. The following evening, I was in town with my fiancé and we decided to pop in for a bite to eat anyway. ...
...serving from the lounge menu, at which point she held her hand up to us and said impatiently: 'I'll be back in a minute, yeah?!' So my fiancé stood and waited. And waited. She came back from what she was doing, walked straight past us several times, and completely ignored us for a further ten minutes as she chatted to a colleague. At this point we decided to go elsewhere for dinner. Having already booked two hotel rooms for the night before my wedding, ...

Review of Best Western George of Colchester, Colchester

Plane Spotters Paradise!

Advantages: fairly cheap, very close to airoprt
Disadvantages: staff

...was cheap! Overall, the express by Holiday Inn at Luton airport is very good if you have a flight at Luton as you are so close, you can see planes all around the hotel but we were not disturbed at night by any noises. It's quite cheap, a double room for a night costing two of us nearly £25 which is not bad. I would definitely recommend it. ...

Review of Express By Holiday Inn, Luton

My first choice hotel when visiting Stirling

Advantages: Good value, clean and comfortable
Disadvantages: None

...stayed at the Express by Holiday Inn Stirling, a few times, booking directly by visiting Hiexpress.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO GET THERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Springkerse business park, Stirling. It is easily accessed from the M80, leaving at J10, or from J9 off the M9. Follow the A91 to St Andrews and after six roundabouts you arrive at the hotel. If travelling by train, Stirling train station is approx 1.5miles ...
...staying in an Express by Holiday Inn hotel is that continental breakfast is included in the room price. This is self-service and can be eaten downstairs or taken back to your room on a tray if you wish. You can choose from a range of cereals, toast, croissants, pastries,muffins, fresh fruit, jams and marmalades and yoghurts. Fruit juice and tea/coffee is also provided. I know some people prefer a full English, but personally I don't, so this is fine ...
