I used to travel a lot for business and I often thought what makes great customer service in a Hotel. I've had some stays where staff should clearly not be engaging with customers. Why am I saying this ? That is because of my amazing experience and the fantastic team at H.Inn Express in Exeter. They understand great customer service and provide it every day ! They are a credit to Holiday Inn Brilliant team Brilliant hotel Breakfast amazing 10/10 in every aspect - greeted with a smile and a pleasant warm welcome every day. Will be back ! Keep up the amazing work.

Good hotel for a short stay

The staff were immensely friendly and welcoming. For sone reason I was given a room that had a wheelchair accessible bathroom which meant the sink was low and the bathroom was essentially a wet room. I would have preferred a conventional bathroom, but it was clean and functional. The breakfast was one of the best in terms of quality. Limited only by choice tge pork sausages and bacon were lovely! The location was a short walk from the marina and city centre. Would definitely stay here again
