The Holiday Inn Express in Chelmsford was a great stay. A wonderful welcome by staff on arrival and very friendly and helpful throughout. The local Town centre is only 5 min drive away with many different stores which include a large Tescos and many more shops also. A convenient clean and comfy room which is more than adequate for any stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chelmsford and surround areas.

I like the nice comfy bed. Plenty of storage space and good supply of tea and coffee along with some biscuits. I didn't like the suspicious brown streaks on my bath towel and no plug in the sink.
Brown marks on bath towel. Quickly changed though.

Reception The staff on reception went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. We travelled to Braintree to celebrate my 80th birthday as our family is somewhat scattered, with our eldest daughter living in Braintree. We had booked 3 rooms and the wonderful reception staff allowed my daughter access to each room to leave special gifts for us and balloons in my room. There was even a birthday card and prosecco from the hotel. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with vegetarian sausages for one of my family. In all, nothing was too much trouble. We were able to order taxi's from the hotel to the venue and the bar was open for a nightcap on our return. A huge thank you to all at the Holiday Inn Express Braintree for helping make my birthday so memorable.
