Our ground floor room was very clean and tidy, though the noise from the water supply to the toilet and the 'flushing' from the rooms above were so load it even woke me up on occasions. also we had an interconnecting room and we could hear quite clearly the guests in the adjacent room.

Rooms - as expected, clean and comfortable.
Service - very good all round, a friendly and efficient team.
Breakfast - nice and varied, I particularly liked the pancake machine and watching them being cooked.
Location - convenient half way stop for us, travelling from Leicester to Lands End.
Parking - half price (£7) if staying in the hotel, 24 hours, code issued at reception and payment made at the same time as check in using a payment meter.

As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted with a friendly smile and a can do attitude. The rooms are lovely and clean and everything you would expect to find is there - even an ironing board.

Breakfast was good with a varied selection of cereals, fruit and cooked items available. No drama.

The hotel is OK. Our room was on the groundfloor and seemed a bit tired. It wasn’t a large bed and we were kept awake from 4 -5am by the television in an adjoining room.
Parking at the hotel is easy (reduced payment for guests) and it’s convenient for the M5 and Exeter airport.

Check in was easy. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The evening meal in the restaurant was poor. There was no ice for our drinks from the bar beforehand. My husband’s meal of fish goujons and chips was undercooked. At breakfast the mixed fruit berries hadn’t fully defrosted, the sausages had been undercooked and the fruit juices were awful. Stay, but don’t eat here!

Lovely hotel, conveniently located just off the M5, yet very accessible to reach the city centre by bus. Ample parking, which was also reasonably priced. The staff were super helpful giving us directions to get to the bus stop (just across the road) and which numbers we needed to look out for to reach the city centre. Breakfast was lovely, with a huge variety of food. The lift was a bit slow so we ended up using the stairs instead as we were on the first floor. Modern and super clean look. We will definitely stay there again as it was excellent value for money.

Room was very good, clean but in slight need of some decorating, good storage but only there one night. Friendly staff.
Left at 3.00 am to catch a flight & was let down by the promise of an early breakfast of croissants & muffins, upon entering the breakfast area there was nothing available. Was told by receptionist that he knew nothing of this arrangement but we could get a coffee or tea.

Good place to stay. Staff are great and soooo helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Always pleasant even when they are obviously very busy. Matthew in particular was always cheerful he seemed to be there 24/7 and always multitasking. The staff make this otherwise average hotel a place to come back to.
10 out of ten for their services!!
We stay here a lot, it's great value and convenient for getting around and visiting Devon .
Well done everyone at Holiday Inn Express M5.

Staff was great. The hotel is old and really ran down. I was very disappointed in this Holiday Inn because I felt tricked. The Holiday Inn near Stonehenge was incredible and the same price as this nasty dump. I would definitely not stay here again. ALSO you had to pay for parking at this location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, although it was short we were pleasantly surprised with our room, breakfast menu and staff. We checked in late and the evening receptionist was really helpful with giving us advice around parking and checked up in promptly. We were able to order a drink before heading to the room. Our room was clean and spacious. We headed down to breakfast in the morning where we had the buffet. The buffet was fresh, with a large variety, all equipment used to store the buffet was new and well maintained. This Holiday Inn is definitely worth while to stop at, it is clear the staff and management care about the customer experience. Thanks for our stay!

My stay at the Holiday Inn was comfortable and pleasant overall. Everything was good, and I had a nice experience. The only issue I encountered was with the sofa bed, which wasn’t very comfortable—I could feel the hard surface while lying on it. Aside from that, everything else met my expectations. I would consider staying here again when needed.

Breakfast definitely needs some improvement but the hotel overall was spot on for our stopover on the way the Cornwall.

Staff were lovely and really friendly. Hotel is clean and the room was set up for our family of 4. Plenty of parking (small additional charge), great WiFi.

Really good value overall and definitely recommend.

The hotel was generally ok. On first entry it looked lovely. Check in was easy and staff were welcoming. The amenities were good, but overnight the pipe work in the hotel/room was loud (we were on the ground floor) - not sure if it was linked to the toilets but it did disrupt our sleep.

Paying for car parking is unreal and not great for paying customers. Also, allowing dogs is fine but the owners need to be told about leaving their pets locked in the room barking

Room beautiful, night light in bathroom excellent addition.
No complimentary biscuits sadly. Would have appreciated these rather than toothpaste etc.
Slept well, liked AC to adjust room temp as and when needed.
Disappointed with breakfast, arrived 25mins before end and very limited choices hot food, shortage of cutlery.

Spoke to Hotel Staff on reception who advised ref best timings to ensure full menu available.
