Holiday Inn Express Braintree

Stayed for a night for a departure the next day from Stansted airport. Very comfortable with full amenities. Good price and love the included free breakfast. X20 link HOURLY bud is so easy to catch to Stansted, at bus stop nearby. About 20-30mins journey. Plucked lots of sweet juicy blackberry along the way walking to the hotel.

We have stayed here before and are never disappointed. Very comfortable and staff are always very helpful and welcoming.

A little dated and room was noisy being right next to the dual carriageway Otherwise okay

The stay was fine, clean and accommodating. Does need an update as it looks like it was a hospital or nursing home. Need to get ride of the emergency pull cords. It was comfortable and the aircon worked and close to town. A resturant across the road and an easy trip back to the airport for us.

Title: Disappointing Stay - Would Not Recommend My recent stay at this hotel was very disappointing. The room was not clean, with visible cobwebs and even spiders, which left a very unpleasant feeling. To make matters worse, my children developed rashes during our stay, possibly due to insect bites. The breakfast experience was equally underwhelming. The selection was limited, and when I asked for a clean spoon, the gentleman at breakfast was quite arrogant. He pointed me to two dispensers, one labelled "clean" and the other "dirty." However, the "clean" dispenser also had dirty spoons mixed in. When I pointed this out, he showed no interest in addressing the issue. Given these issues, especially the impact on my children’s health, I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. It was an unpleasant experience overall.

All the people who work there are so nice and friendly and make you feels so welcome. That way I always want to come back . Well done for a very good service.
