Liked: Cleanliness
Room quite comfortable, sofa: was aching after sit for a longer period, could be improved. Breakfast not as good as hoped - informed reception on arrival am vegan. Some 'vegan' sausages were available, didn't like this brand, no soya 'milk' after first night, didn't bother to get any for other two breakfasts, so no cereals.

Dear Alan,Thank you for taking the time to leave the feedback following your recent stay. I am glad to read that you found our room to be comfortable. I apologise for the sofa bed and vegan sausages not being to your preference. I was also concerned to see that we did not provide you the soya milk on your request. I am so sorry about the inconvenience as this is the last thing we want our guests to experience. I shall pass your feedback over to the rest of the management team to review and action where necessary. We hope you would stay with us again so we can make it up to you.Kindest RegardsIzabela LeskoGuest Service Manager

Good for a quick overnight stay. Comfortable beds and very clean. Breakfast a bit hit and miss as the reception person was also responsible for stocking up the hot breakfast too. Came to check out, waited 15 minutes and still no one came to the desk. Waited with 2 other sets of people and in the end we just dropped the keys in the key box and left. Should have more staff on.. especially for reception.

Dear Peter, I would like to start off by apologising that you had to wait 15 minutes for no one to turn up and you were with another 2 people. I am happy to see that you found it good to be a quick overnight stay. The beds were comfortable and very clean.

Fairly good. Comfortable and clean but poor breakfast choices. Only pork sausages and bacon that I am unable to eat. No choice of eggs, plus the only eggs they had were scrambled and tasted like powdered eggs. No whole milk only semi- skimmed

Good Afternoon Hachena, Thank you for leaving a review about your most recent stay here with us at holiday inn express redditch. I want to start off by apologizing that the eggs tasted like powdered egg and we don't do whole milk if you do require vegetarian sausage's we can do them we would just need to know how many you would want. I am pleased to see that you found it fairly good. Kind Regards Ayla Rolinson General service assistant

Dear John,Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Holiday Inn Express BIRMINGHAM - REDDITCH.Please know that your feedback is extremely valuable to us. We use feedback, such as yours, to continuously make changes to our brand to improve the guest experience. I'm pleased you found the staff here at the hotel friendly. With regards to the coldness within the hotel, with there being 2 automatic doors within reception the temperature was ultimately out of our control, we did however have the heating on full in the hotel and gave plug in heaters to guests that were still cold. I apologise about the noise within the room however, had reception been informed we would of been happy to turn the AC off manually for you to ensure a good nights rest. Furthermore, we keep a stock of additional coffee and tea facilities at reception so should you require more you are more than welcome to pop down and have some more- however as ourselves only being an Express we do not provide hot chocolate or biscuits in rooms, I apologise for the inconvenience. Despite these issues you faced during this particular stay, we hope that you will give us the opportunity to serve you again in the future.Again, thank you for choosing Holiday Inn Express, and if I can be of assistance to you, please contact me directly at 01527 587910 or reservations@hieredditchhotel.com.Sincerely,Sophie GordonMiss01527 587910reservations@hieredditchhotel.com

Overall the hotel was pretty decentall you would expect from a holiday inn express. Good staff, clean, nice size room. Only comment is that the breakfast could've used with a little more option, especially as toast topping, working with only butter and Marmite was a bit lacking.

Good hotel let down by kitchen.
Hotel was fine and comfortable, Evening meal was poor quality and over priced served on a silly piece of wood, si as soon as I tried to cut the meat it slid almosy onto the table. When I queried the quality, I was told they have just change supplier? Breakfast poor quality and choice.

Not the best
The rooms bathroom had a noisy/squeaky extractor fan which could be heard throughout the night, breakfast was chaotic and a free for all like most buffets but had to ask several times to what seems frustrated and impatient service staff for items to be replenished. All items were of usual good quality though
