Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing stay!!! It would be nicer to check out one hour later. Our room was clean and it had the necessary amenities. The breakfast was free and very nice and parking was free too. The only issue was outside noise from the busy road due to petrol station, M&S and Tobi Carvery. Although, I really recommend it specially for couples."

Holiday Inn Basildon by IHG

Holiday Inn Basildon by IHG

8/10 Good
"This is a nice hotel but has one major drawback for disabled guests. The breakfast room is on the first floor of an annex attached to the hotel which has no lift access. We were told there were about 20 stairs to climb, which was impossible for my disabled partner to negotiate. To combat this a very helpful member of staff brought us down everything we required into the bar area. We were also offered the choice of having breakfast served in our room without a tray charge. However, as this is a buffet breakfast, I would have preferred to have been able to sit in the breakfast room and see exactly what was on offer. Other than that (and the £12 parking charge) we were happy with the standard of food served, the level of customer service and the hotel itself."
