Jason
Just simple and very friendly
Aidan
Room was spotlessly clean and bed comfortable. We chose this hotel over other nearby options as it claims to have air conditioning. However, the system had a long-term fault apparently affecting all rooms, so no air con available. Hotel had provided a tower fan but that is a poor substitute. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice, and staff very helpful.
Paula
Check in was great, nice & easy and the room was ready straight away.
The room was a twin, a great size but very tired. The carpet could do with changing and the shower sealant definitely needs re-doing as it was black in areas.
Breakfast was plentiful, could have been warmer but nothing too drastic. It even a separate gluten free section, including its own toaster, was impressed with that.
There is also a Toby Carvery just opposite
It served us well for 1 night but would not want to stay any longer than that.

A very clean hotel with helpful staff. Our twin room was spacious with all the facilities including all the added extras to make it a wonderful stay to attend our wedding event nearby. We were also able to enjoy a light meal in the evening as well as a delicious breakfast the next morning.
Free convenient parking was an added bonus. Would definitely return when in the area.

Angelina
Love this hotel unfortunately had a bad experience at breakfast with the manager but reported it and received an apology I would like to stay there again so hopefully not too awkward
Graeme
I overnighted here for an early flight from Stansted the next morning. The hotel is easy to find, just off the main road, and a short walk to the airport bus' stop. The staff were very friendly and the room was clean. Sadly I had to catch the bus before breakfast opened. I would definitely stay here again.

Good free parking. Excellent breakfast good choice and nice and hot. Air conditioning and heating not working in room an electric heater provided but I was not informed of this by hotel staff. The room was clean and serviced daily.

Beds hard and unable to set air con we had to use a stand alone plug in rad that was in the room to warm room up
Wayne
Free parking made this the ideal place to stay the night before an early morning flight from Stansted. Everything you would expect from a Holiday Inn.

Reception staff were excellent. Very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was ok. My room was ok (105) but during the night I had to open the window because of continued smell of cooking oil. Glad I stayed just the one night
Lesley
On checking in the receptionist was new which slowed things up. Upon entering our room the duvet cover was the wrong size for the duvet also the pillows were lumpy and needed replacing LUCKILY Becky came to the rescue with a new duvet and different pillows!

Well laid out room. Perfect for my wife and I. Could do with more tea bags and milk and sugar but, thats a personal thing. Very comfy nights sleep and good choice of breakfasts to choose from. Courteous staff and attentive. Handy having a Toby Carvery opposite too.

Courtney
Room was spotless and great staff
Robert
Absolutely perfect
Jennifer
The staff ,amenities and room were very good. Unfortunately the bed in the room was exceptionally uncomfortable.
Dawn
The staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient. The room though was very disappointing. We were aware that we would have single beds, we did not know that one bed would be against the double headboard and the other stranded under the window. The bed in question did not have a headboard or legs. We did move it but without legs it was significantly lower than the other bed.
The best thing i can say about breakfast was the coffee was ok. Overall the hotel was well worn and in need of a refresh.

The bathroom show aging.
The complimentary breakfast was good with gluten free options. However no boiled eggs/fried eggs/omelette options available only scrambled eggs.

*AVOID AVOID AVOID*
The beds here are small and feel cheap, they’ve clearly replaced king size beds with standard doubles that guarantee no space and no sleep.
Adequate for single travellers; but very lousy for couples.
We got moved to HIX Stansted here after HIX Braintree moved our booking; arrived tired and late around 23:30, and I’m writing this at 02:21 having just had to pay £100 for a second room in order that my wife and I both get some sleep.
Photos attached to show how narrow bed is compared with the built-in headboard from previous beds.
