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.
