Holiday Inn Express Burton Upon Trent by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Burton Upon Trent by IHG

8/10 Good
"The room was surprisingly spacious for an Express hotel. The storage space and shelving was well thought out. A huge bed and big comfy chair and table. The shower room was very clean and well maintained. The bedroom was generally clean but there were some tea stains on the carpet under the shelving. I also noticed an old wrist band down behind the bedside table which had clearly been missed during cleaning. The reception, bar and breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. It was an especially late night/early morning finish for the bar staff on Saturday night which was much appreciated by some members of our party. The hotel was very busy but there was a good amount of parking spaces provided."

"Excellent place to stay if visiting uni or Birmingham centre itself. My initial room had a minor issue but was sorted out and moved to another room to suit my needs within minutes. Couldn't fault the staff. Food is excellent I made use of the takeaway service so food brought to my room portions were huge. This was my second stay and will choose to stay here again when I need to."
