Used to come here regularly in the past. Shops and Restaurants are all within walking distance. Parking is possible nearby too but there was work going on at this time so parked in the multi-storey which is a short walk. Normally a bit cheaper if booked with the hotel directly. Need to pay in the car paek. Not sure if this is the new way forward but not a tragedy.
Reception Team were great as before. Friendly and welcoming.
Super breakfast with good hot options. Nothing too much trouble here and we will be back over the summer months. Many thanks all.

the hotel was ok , the gave me a room just above the garbage room so seeing the garbage truck in the morning wasn't the most pleasant experience , the staff was very nice though

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.

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.

Had a very pleasant young lady welcome us.
Room had everything we needed.
Trying to sleep all I could hear was woman shouting "Get off me, get off me. I was concerned until I heard children running around. This went on for quite a while.
Bed was comfortable, not so the pillows.
Breakfast was tasty, but could have been hotter.
Didn't appreciate people coming coming to breakfast in their nightwear, they are NOT at home.
