The breakfast options were plentiful, and the staff was attentive, making our stay enjoyable. However, the room was chilly at night, which impacted our comfort.

Great for a couple getaway

We arrived late and the staff could not have been more helpful, they really took care of us. The room was massive with a king-size bed so we had plenty of space to relax, not to mention the shower was better than I expected.

It wasn't cheap, but honestly it was still acceptable for the quality we got.

clean rooms, open reception area, convenient parking

Shower pressure disappointing!!! Lift out of order during my entire stay, leaving me with the stairs as the only option. Update the ironing boards, as they look worn and uncomfortable. The TV needs to be larger for easier viewing from the bed!!!

enjoy exceptional value with welcoming staff and a good breakfast at holiday inn express braintree

Comfortable stay with friendly service.

Comfortable room but climbing stairs to the second floor was inconvenient.

The room was clean and spacious, which I appreciated. The bed was super comfy, and the armchair was a nice touch for lounging. However, it felt a bit small and some spots weren’t as clean as I hoped. Overall, it worked for a night.

Great stay with friends! We enjoyed visiting Hylands House and exploring Chelmsford after a solid breakfast at the hotel, which had plenty of options. The staff was super friendly, and the rooms were spacious and clean. Perfect base for day trips around Essex and ideal for families or groups. Don't miss the grab-and-go breakfast option. super handy!

One downside was that the shower pressure wasn't great, which made showering a bit of a hassle. Just a small bump in an otherwise smooth stay.

Had a great time here with friends! We explored the stunning Hylands House and enjoyed the peaceful gardens. This place is a solid base to check out all the charming spots in Essex. The breakfast was a good start to our day, and I appreciated the friendly staff, who made everything comfortable and easy.

However, I did notice that the coffee machine was a bit hit or miss. It would have been nice if they had more consistent options for coffee in the mornings.

The room was spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast had a large selection and was delicious. The parking was convenient and free for guests. I felt very relaxed during my stay. 😊

The room featured a spacious layout with plenty of storage for your gear, along with effective blackout blinds ensuring a solid night's sleep. Breakfast offered a decent variety of hot and cold items, keeping everything fresh and well-stocked for early risers.

A couple of drawbacks caught my eye—first, the shower cubicle seemed overdue for an update, with signs of wear showing. Additionally, a fridge was noticeably absent. I prefer cold drinks over hot ones, so that was a letdown. Finally, make sure to register your car promptly. ten minutes isn't really enough time if you're checking in with friends.

The room was clean, spacious, and cozy with blackout blinds that really helped for a peaceful night's sleep. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Sarah, who made us feel right at home. Breakfast had a huge variety and was plentiful, ensuring we started our day off right.

Could benefit from a wider breakfast option.

I enjoyed my stay in a Standard Double Room. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast offered a large variety, which I loved. The location was convenient for exploring nearby areas. Free parking was a nice bonus. 😊

The staff at Holiday Inn Express were exceptionally accommodating during my stay. They assisted efficiently in my check-in process and ensured I had everything I needed for my work-related activities. The breakfast offered a wide selection, including fresh fruits, a variety of pastries, and high-quality coffee, making it a great way to start my day. The room was comfortable and equipped with fast Wi-Fi, which was essential for my business tasks.

I had a great stay. the spacious room was perfect for my family with children, and the breakfast selection was huge! Best scrambled eggs ever! I'd absolutely stay again!

This place suits me perfectly with excellent wi-fi, free parking, and friendly staff. They even helped me retrieve my forgotten earphones on my first stay. Highly recommend a visit for a comfortable experience!
