Holiday inn express needs work

Checked in to be told about a fee for parking, if you have psid to stay at the hotel why do you have to pay extra to park? Very poor. Room seemed ok but in tjis modern age why are you still using standard double beds? A very bad nights sleep was had, you should have King size or at least two standard singles pushed together. The duvet didnt really fit the bed once x2 adults are in the bed, poor. The breakfast is mediocre due to the fact that it's self service with food on the hot plate for quite a while.

Great hotel, terrible food.

The hotel was great, the bar was good, but the food was probably the worst I have ever had. Very expensive but very poor.

OK but some dodgy staff member.

Stay was alright, as expected, marred by my wife leaving a ring in the room and when I rang within 30 minutes of check out, even when they sent someone to look, they could mot find it, suspect it was n the pocket of the checker.

Okay stay at The Holiday Inn Express, East Mid.

Our stay was okay, the room was very cold and took a while to heat up and as we arrived late we would have appreciated an ambient temperature. We were in room 222 and there were blood stains beneath the shower on the floor? The breakfast was good. The leather seats in the lounge have seen better days there was a chuck of leather and foam stuffing out of one if them. The staff seemed nice.
