Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As a mature adult it was an easy accessible hotel for an early airport flight. The added bonus was the early availability of breakfast. I didn't have a car but the bus stopped outside. I would use the hotel again should I get an early morning flight. All the staff I met were very helpful.

A good stay with some concerns.

This was a quick overnight before leaving from East Midlands early the next morning. The receptionist was very helpful and the VERY early morning breakfast was most welcome. Two things: the hard floors (not the carpets) had been cleaned with something sticky which made walking on them squeaky and unpleasant; secondly, although clean, the room smelt as if it needed a good clean.

Holiday inn express needs work

Checked in to be told about a fee for parking, if you have psid to stay at the hotel why do you have to pay extra to park? Very poor. Room seemed ok but in tjis modern age why are you still using standard double beds? A very bad nights sleep was had, you should have King size or at least two standard singles pushed together. The duvet didnt really fit the bed once x2 adults are in the bed, poor. The breakfast is mediocre due to the fact that it's self service with food on the hot plate for quite a while.

Great hotel, terrible food.

The hotel was great, the bar was good, but the food was probably the worst I have ever had. Very expensive but very poor.

OK but some dodgy staff member.

Stay was alright, as expected, marred by my wife leaving a ring in the room and when I rang within 30 minutes of check out, even when they sent someone to look, they could mot find it, suspect it was n the pocket of the checker.
