We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Braintree three times during our visit to the UK. We were particularly impressed by Kinliegh who seemed to be here, there and everywhere but still had time for the guests. Two observations, the temp controller in room 143 wasn't responding to altered settings and displaying an error message. The breakfast room seems inadequate for the number of guests compared to other Holiday Inn's, It's something we also noticed from a previous stay in 2016.

It’s what we expected from a holiday inn express however the air conditioning unit in our room was far too noisy even when on its lowest speed, so we had to turn it off and then the room got far too hot. We couldn’t have the window open due to the noise of the traffic, therefore neither me or my wife got much sleep at all. Also there were some very inconsiderate noisy guests in the corridor outside our room in the early hours of the morning.

Fabulous, yes the rooms could do with a little updating and certainly the step up to the shwer in ny room may be an issue for others but its a great place to stay with the dog on travels. If you are with a dog, Cambridge services dont allow dogs inside but Rugby services is better and does. The staff at this HI werre all btilliant and breakfast has a good range of hot and cold options.
