Hotel was in good condition, however one of the lights for bedtime reading was blown and the bathroom bin hadn't been emptied, but for one night, it was ok.
Food was not the best both breakfast and evening. Breakfast hot food was barely warm and evening was the same after waiting 30mins after ordering and only being us and another couple dining. There was a restaurant next door however they fill up fast and had no spaces for us, hence eating in the hotel.
In review....book the restaurant next door ahead of time!
Staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful which was very nice.

Was pleasantly surprised by how good this hotel was. The decor is a little dated but that really didn’t matter. Great air con, a comfy bed and clean bathroom with a powerful shower ticked all the boxes for me along with a restaurant with a small but tasty menu a good breakfast (free to all) and welcoming & friendly staff. It was a refreshing change to many an experience I’ve had recently in other hotels 😊

I was soaking wet when I arrived and the staff couldn't be more helpful in getting me booked in quick. The room was excellent with everything I required and the breakfast had plenty of options. All in all very pleasant.

The hotel was clean and facilities generally good, although beds not overly comfortable.

Staff very friendly, polite and helpful.

Breakfast was very good as was the parking.
I would use the hotel again in the future.

Our stay was spoiled slightly by other noisy
guests and unsupervised children in the restaurant and running in the corridors in the early hours. This was not the hotel’s fault.

Good location

The hotel was easy to find with good parking.
Check in was straight forward.

The breakfast was very good, except for the scrambled eggs which were extremely watery,
there was plenty of choice and I was able to have a substantial full English.

The staff were very helpful and welcoming on arrival. I had a comfortable and clean room. I had a good bathroom with good lighting and a good shower door so no water leaking out onto the floor which can often happen in hotels. The breakfast was good. So I enjoyed my stay. Thank you to the staff and I will book again to stay here when in the Taunton area.

Location, value for money, and staff were all great. Room location, not so great. Asked for a quiet room….got a room above the bins and loading bay. This meant having staff vaping/smoking/making a racket below the window and somebody emptying out the hotel’s bottles at 3am!! Enough noise to waken the dead.

Room had very comfy beds, pillows and duvets. Clean and tidy with sufficient supplies.
Even with all lights on the room was still fairly dim?
This air con did keep the room fairly warm but not hot, despite being on the highest setting. But worse is the continuing buzz/hum all night, even wearing earplugs!! I cant sleep with this constant drone and i NEED sleep!
Usually travel midweek for work, so rare to find breakfast so busy. And it was a ahambles.
Only 1?.staff. Everything was run out, repeatedly! The bacon was hard and dry. No eggs at all. No sign of red/brown, no pots for jams, the 'marmalade' is a disgusting puree of some sorts, but the mixed berry jam.was lovely. Coffee machine barely filled cups half full.
Extremely substandard!

TV remote didn’t work - had to go and get new batteries. Then discovered WiFi not working. Went back down to reception, only to be told there was nothing they could do about it. Unfortunately, this hotel is going down every time we stay at it. At least the heating was working this time. Last time we had to get an electric heater from reception because the heating was not working.

My room was not made up when i arrived. This was resolved and i was moved quickly to a room opposite. This was at back of hotel. Unfortunately there was a loud workman outside cutting and banging from 9 till 10pm. I was then woken at midnight by the same workman banging again. Then at 6am i was woken again by loud talking. Terrible sleep. Breakfast was also poor with croissants and muffins missing and dried out bacon. Parking was easy to find and shared with Harvester next door.

Stay here every year but the pet charge has now gone up to £30 which is just too high. My dog is small and doesn't cast whatsover but even if she did £30 is steep for an extra hoover. The breakfast let it down this year, stale limited items, sausage, bacon and hash browns all tough like they'd been cooked and reheated. No porridge, small selection of cereal and pastries. Coffee machine not working properly, told young lad, didn't do anything about it. Was so nice the last time we stayed so this year disappointed

Nice for an overnight stay. Clean and good price

Rooms comfortable and clean. Double bed felt small but even then the quilt only just covered it, but generally the room was good. It was clean and in good condition but was a little chilly. The aircon just seemed to do it's own thing! It was rainjng and much chillier than of late so I set the temperature to the maximum setting but it was still only luke warm and then the aircon started blowing out cold air. No way was the room warm enough for the system to decide it needed cooling down.
The bar in the evening was good but suffered from a lack of seating at one point. But you could get served pretty quickly and the drinks are not overpriced.
The restaurant in the morning was very busy with not enough seating and the hot food ran out quickly. Having said that, the two or three staff on duty worked hard and did a first class job under very difficult circumstances.
Parking was easy and it's very easy to get to from the motorway. There is a pub opposite the hotel which is reasonable for a drink and an excellent pub for dinner within about 15 minutes walk over a foot bridge.

One night stop in Taunton

Efficient check-in, good room and, accepting that this was an Holiday Inn Express with a limited evening food menu, the food we chose was exactly what we needed after a long tiring day. The only slight complaint was that the selection of fruit supplied at breakfast was very limited. Would we stay here again? Certainly!

Good stay

Great stay on route to final destination. Ample car parking, great welcome, modern with suitable facilities like a 24 hour reception, vending area and bar. Hotel does bar meals and breakfast is included which was good quality and replenished regularly. Lady in reception, Donna was very friendly. Room location was great on the ground floor and probably the biggest hotel room I’ve stayed in. It had enough space for all of us - often when trying to book a hotel room for more than 2 adults and 2 children is impossible and you always get offered 2 rooms at double the cost so this was a pleasant surprise. Beds were comfy, good facilities and clean. There is a Harvester next door and petrol station, if you want to venture slightly further there is a bowling alley, McDonald’s, miller and Carter, beefeater etc as well as a b&m and sainsburys. Good location and was helpful for us on our way to Devon to break up the journey
