Holiday Inn Express St. Albans - M25, Jct.22

It’s a cool place to be

Location. Room. Facilities. Breakfast included. Plenty of parking.

Twin room was booked. The room is clean and cosy. Beds are comfortable. TV in the room with a table and relaxing chair near the bed. In between the bed is a bedside table. Shower is clean and you are provided with wash stuff if you forget your own. Breakfast is a buffet style breakfast. You have the option to select, fruit (banana, apple, oranges) and juices along with Tea / coffee / hot chocolate. A range of cereals and yogurts and hot food, Eggs, sausage, bacon, beans scrambled egg with baps. In the lounge there is a bar, where you can watch TV. If Football is on, it tends to be shown. There are a few areas for seating to watch or if you prefer not to you can sit in a quite area.

The room was comfortable, clean and modern. Corridors and general areas were also good apart from the dining area which could have benefitted from some cleaning of the carpet. There was a very good choice of food and drinks for breakfast and, overall, this was very good except that the hot food tended to be a little on the cool side, particularly the scrambled eggs which were stone cold. The staff were all extremely pleasant throughout the hotel. If you can find some way of keeping the food hot you will rate ten out of ten.

Lovely clean room. Very comfortable beds and duvet. Great shower. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were tidy and functional. Very unusual to have a 'smart' TV with internet connection. We lived in this area until a few months ago and so the location was perfect for us to visit friends etc. Also, has a great variety of shops on the doorstep, M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots. Next, TK Maxx and JD Sports. Great breakfast!
