Lovely
Overall a comfortable stay.
Aishwarya and few Asian colleagues were really helpful and kind enough to answer all the questions. The breakfast was fantastic. Coffee machine and the bread toaster was the highlight.
I will definitely go back to stay.

Great for the price
This is a great budget hotel. It's located near local amenities and is perfectly comfortable. The staff were professional and the bed was comfortable but firm. The only downside was the toilet flush wasn't amazing.

Overall, the experience was good, particularly the breakfast. However we found a difference in this hotel from previous visits to other Holiday Express Inns. The bedroom had two beds, but we found the amount of storage space minimal for two people ie. hanging space, shelves were totally inadequate and there were no drawers, no table/desk top. Also only one chair. If we had been staying there for more than 2 nights we would really have struggled.
