Easter break

We stayed for a little family trip during the Easter holidays. We were given two double beds rather than a bed and a sofa bed which was better. Breakfast was good and we had an evening meal which was ok too. It was fairly quiet even though there were lots of work vans parked overnight. There were a few country parks, the beach and Colchester itself to visit.

Good overnight hotel

Good stay here again - breakfast was hotter this time which was appreciated. Room comfortable and shower was good. I don't appreciate being charged £8 for parking which was previously free, but overall it's still an OK hotel for a business one-nighter.

Great stay a Holiday Inn express Colchester

The hotel was clean and very welcoming. The staff were ALL excellent. Very quick to help and have laugh with you. Our room was very spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Despite being next to the A12 the hotel is very quiet and relaxing. We look forward to our next stay.

Good Business Stay

Good stay again. Nice staff, room has everything you need. Breakfast could be improved - not hot enough and the orange juice is not good quality. Overall it's a great hotel for a business stay though and I will use it again.
