Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Great location for Braintree, Chelmsford and stanstead airport, just off A120 . 5 min drive to Freeport . There’s a petrol station and carvery restaurant within walking distance . Room was on ground floor ( only downside you can hear upstairs if they are noisy ) otherwise tv is unusually loud volume ( mine was on 7 ) room was big with ironing board , hairdryer , proper mugs. Shower pressure was best ever 👍👍"
