The downside is in the accessibility room the bars in the showers are rusting. Which isn't good. Apart from that, fine!

Arrived earlier than 3pm which was checkin and was allowed to checkin and go to the room no problem. We went out to see family and when we came back was very busy and loud in the bar and people outside. Room was lovely and comfortable and everything worked, iron, kettle, shower, tv, wifi. Breakfast was fantastic. Cooked English and cereals, muffins etc. Well worth the money. Will be staying again

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Braintree three times during our visit to the UK. We were particularly impressed by Kinliegh who seemed to be here, there and everywhere but still had time for the guests. Two observations, the temp controller in room 143 wasn't responding to altered settings and displaying an error message. The breakfast room seems inadequate for the number of guests compared to other Holiday Inn's, It's something we also noticed from a previous stay in 2016.
