Old tired hotel and staff

This hotel is old. No sense of welcome to our hotel upon check in. Sold car parking and the only spots left were for electric cars. Used to have air conditioning but wasn’t told it didn’t work until after I’d booked and paid. Had a fan which was so old and noisy you couldn’t sleep with it on and the window could barely open for fresh air. The television didn’t work. Not worth the £80. Worth about £25.

Great hotel close to the centre

I needed to spend a night in Exeter to pick up a car. The Holiday Inn Express is a very convenient and comfortable hotel, close to the city centre. The location, close to the River Exe means it is much lower than the city centre, so expect a steep walk back to the restaurants in the centre, although the Quay area is more or less on the same level.

My stay

Arrived early and was allowed to check in early thankfully got the food room key but wasn’t told where to go etc so we had to guess didn’t know that there was an easier way to get to the car park which was via the lift so had to go outside and round which could have been easier. The stay was lovely the room was nice but had cobwebs large ones by the telly The bathroom was lovely but shower leaked. There was a party the night we stayed and it was loud it would have been nice to be pre warned there was party on that night so we knew what to expect. The area and hotel was nice! I’d come again
