One night stop in Taunton
Efficient check-in, good room and, accepting that this was an Holiday Inn Express with a limited evening food menu, the food we chose was exactly what we needed after a long tiring day. The only slight complaint was that the selection of fruit supplied at breakfast was very limited. Would we stay here again? Certainly!

Absolutely lovely stay, at the this hotel. Only thing I was annoyed about was the noise of foot steps at night from the above room. Othewise for a overnight stop before our holiday it was fine. The staff are all nice and answered our questions promptly.
