Holiday Inn Express East Midlands Airport by IHG

Great

Nothing

Bed comfortable, good range of times for breakfast to accommodate early flights or early start. Breakfast food was fine. Big car park which can accommodate trailer which was why we booked it. Iron, board and hairdryer all provided in room. Reasonable driving distance to couple of good pubs to eat out stayed two nights. Took our belonging when we went out for day 2 as having problems with car and in case we were AA recovered and had to go home. Left a bottle of wine in room which housekeeping disposed of. Presume they weren't aware we were coming back.

Would have preferred a bath. No bottles of water in room. Jam dispenser and bread bin not very stable, dont like frozen fruit to have with yoghurt, should have been fresh. Flashing light on smoke alarm was distracting and made it hard to get to sleep.

Very close proximity to airport, clean facilities and bar and snacks/hot food in lobby. Continental breakfast served from 4am which had a good selection of food, teas and coffees and takeaway coffee cups if needed. Very friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay.

The air conditioning was on but not very cool despite me turning it down to be cold, the bed was comfortable but a little on the firmer side. Unfortunately, some other family woke us up several times with loud children running up and down the corridor at midnight which is not the hotel’s fault, but did impact our sleep before an early flight.

Great location (close to the circuit) lovely evening meals and staff

No full breakfasts (got up to early for motor racing!)

Gluten free should have been beter
