A 15 minute drive from Stansted Airport and just over an hour by train from central London, the Holiday Inn Express® Braintree Hotel offers a quiet, comfortable place to rest and recharge on the edge of the English countryside. Keen shoppers will delight in designer brands at Freeport Braintree Mall, and outdoor enthusiasts can hike through Great Notley Country Park.

Chelmsford City Racecourse is two miles away, and when the last horse has passed the post, the Lounge Bar makes a lively spot for drinks.Show More

Title: Disappointing Stay - Would Not Recommend
My recent stay at this hotel was very disappointing. The room was not clean, with visible cobwebs and even spiders, which left a very unpleasant feeling. To make matters worse, my children developed rashes during our stay, possibly due to insect bites.
The breakfast experience was equally underwhelming. The selection was limited, and when I asked for a clean spoon, the gentleman at breakfast was quite arrogant. He pointed me to two dispensers, one labelled "clean" and the other "dirty." However, the "clean" dispenser also had dirty spoons mixed in. When I pointed this out, he showed no interest in addressing the issue.
Given these issues, especially the impact on my children’s health, I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. It was an unpleasant experience overall.

Stayed for a night for a departure the next day from Stansted airport. Very comfortable with full amenities. Good price and love the included free breakfast. X20 link HOURLY bud is so easy to catch to Stansted, at bus stop nearby. About 20-30mins journey. Plucked lots of sweet juicy blackberry along the way walking to the hotel.

We were initially given a room without sofa bed, when I read the description I was booking a room with a sofa bed. However the lady in the front- i cannot exactly remember her name but I think it was Tracy, she was very accommodating and moved us to a room with a sofa bed. The sink was blocked and the phone in the room wasn’t working. The whole hotel was dated and needs an upgrade. Breakfast was poor, compared to other holiday inn expresses we have stayed at this one was limited with their items and eggs etc didn’t seem fresh. We were in a small town but even then when you’re staying at a holiday inn you expect certain things to be in order and certain standards unfortunately we felt like this holiday inn wasn’t up to standard.

The price is OK overall. It's right after getting off the highway, easy to find. But the hotel couldn't provide beds for the children who were traveling with me. When I asked them for a bed sheet and a quilt, they didn't have any, saying they were fully booked. I personally think the hotel is afraid of trouble and won't leave without any extra. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so it was okay. The air conditioner didn't work, fortunately the weather was not that hot. Overall, the price is symmetrical.

Standard hotel, with the basic comfort for a short stay. The receptionist in the morning was very nice and offered a late check out.
