Great. Five stars
We stayed at the Harlow holiday in express. The room was perfect, the breakfast was great for free. We had a walk through the town and trip to the Wetherspoon pub and even saw what looked like a recent Banksy near it.

Lovely Christmas stay.
All staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, general ambience was of a fresh, clean and modern nature. My only gripe was the mattress was quite hard, and therefore uncomfortable when sleeping, but my old bones didn't help 😔. My view couldn't be helped, but it was miserable, not the fault of the hotel.

It took me 30 minutes to park due to roadworks which I won't blame the hotel for. The hotel was clean but every time I flushed the toilet it would make VERY audible noise for 10/15 minutes. Bed was comphy and the whole experience was expected except the clearly drugged up woman soliciting herself.

Parking
Parking outside hotel is currently suspended so I had to use the multi storey car park next door and pay for parking. Not easy when you are disabled.I would not have booked this hotel if this had been flagged up straight away
