Great location for our trip

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Sept 2017
Having booked a two night Special with this IHG hotel prior to the August Bank Holiday our only regret was it should have been longer as the hotel was extremely good in all aspects for our stay. Our intention was to visit Gloucester and having a Park & Ride service within 2minute walk of the hotel we parked at the hotel and used this convenient facility. The staff at the Holiday Inn Express were exceptional in both the welcome and accommodation ,plus when we inquired about extending our stay they went out of there way to help find local vacancies as they were totally booked for the Bank Holiday. Breakfast was a busy time but a welcome bonus.

This hotel was extremely good free wifi and breakfast. Staff were extremely friendly. The room was very comfortable especially the pillows I need some of those for home. We liked it so much we booked again for the return trip home.

Booked for the first time as stop over travelling from Bude to Manchester!
Will definitely book again the staff alone are exceptional!
Nick (just went above and beyond) and made our stay incredible!
My dog Hollie fell in love and the rooms are comfortable and clean!
They have a pub next door!
My only criticism is the bins need emptying sooner! Due to people ordering take always! Not hotels fault. Nick was ensuring all evening that rooms didn't need packaging clearing and plates from rooms.
I will use again.

We stapped her for a friends wedding and it was nice and clean.
Check in was quick and easy.
The room clean and fresh
Breakfast was busy at 09.30 and tables where hard to come by, but there was plenty of food.

Easy to find close to the M5.

10mins from Elmore Court, where The wedding was, the staff booked a taxi for us £8

Reasonable price as well, I did book well in advance though.

Cheaper and better than a Premier Inn and I have stopped in a lot of PI.

Would definitely recommend you stay here for short stays 🖒🖒

My partner and I stayed here for two nights at the end of July. We found this hotel very good with a friendly welcome on arrival. We had a ground floor room overlooking the car park which suited us as it was a nice quiet room, clean and roomy. Car parking was easy and there was a pub next door which did meals if required. A short walk from the hotel is a park and ride park with a choice of three buses into Gloucester City Center, a place worth a visit.The following morning we were treated to a small but adequate buffet breakfast a very good touch. As this is a good hotel as a base to visit several places we have already booked to go back in October. The only minor criticism is that as it is a good base for touring it would be nice to have some drawer space if you staying longer than one or two nights, but it is worth considering staying here.

Room tip: Let your requirements be known on booking The staff will always try and comply with your wishes.

When we were checking in a gentleman was at reception complaining that despite informing staff earlier that there were false eyelashes on the floor from the previous occupant- they were still there - didn't bode well.....

No eyelashes in our room but the surfaces were dusty and the notepad beside the bed was written on- assume by the previous occupants

We needed a plug by the bed - there are none but we were provided with an extension lead

The tv is low so if you and your partner 'don't lie right' one of you can't see the telly!

Kept running out of everything at breakfast- amazingly everyone was taking this in their stride and were 'very accepting' mainly I think because it was obvious that the staff were doing their best

Overall not a good experience and expensive for what you got

Need more staff and either better housekeeping staff or allow them more time per room - not sure which is the problem/ solution

Dear Netty1313

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us.
It is disappointing to read that the standards in the room were not up to your expectations and please accept my sincere apologies. Your comments will be feedback to our Housekeeping team and used to ensure we are offering the highest standards and service possible.
Thank you for your comments regarding the breakfast, again it is disappointing to read we did not meet your expectations during your stay and I will use your comments to look at ways we can improve our offering at the hotel.

I do hope you would give us further chance to better serve you in the future and to make up for the dissapointments felt during your stay.

Kind Regards
