Holiday Inn Express StaffordDate of stay 4th June 2013My review of the Holiday Inn Stafford is a typical business review where I have had to use this accommodation due to work.The accommodation is very basic, don¿¿¿t expect four star rooms, at best its a two star place.The rooms are quite untidy, the TV is very small and indeed with the number of various hotels offering digital TV this place is in the Stone Age.The breakfast in the morning is atrocious, its likely fried up at 5am when the cook arrives and has been kept warm in a basic warmer.The toaster is antiquated and very much third world.That is the best comments, here are the worst.I am disabled with a blue badge and couldn¿¿¿t park in a disabled bay as there was a motorbike in place.This is not a disabled friendly hotel, the staff simply do not care.Please pay particular attention for Clip Clop.You¿¿¿ll soon notice the junior manager that is so scruffy and dirty and drags his heels when walking.Internet access cost me fifteen pounds in the room from Swiss Com. They do offer free limited access in the bar, but not VPN connection so you cannot use your works server for email, a little pointless really.The staff are very rude in the hotel, I asked for a Peroni lager at the bar and was asked if I would like a glass as if that was unusual, what I needed was a flake as Charlotte, the bar maid poured the warm beer into a hot glass and it just foamed everywhere. The young staff are simply teenagers trying to earn some cash, they don¿¿¿t want to be there working, its not their chosen profession and there are not trained properly.Steer clear of the Brew Fare, the little pub diner across the car park, which you must register your car upon arrival or you will receive a one hundred pound fine from the outsourced car park agent.The food here is rubbish, served by children with more attitude that the hotel staff.You normally get chips and....The cod father is a piece of batter with uncooked fish and served with the waiters thumb in your food.Check out of the hotel was priceless, I was asked by Charlotte if I enjoyed my stay, I explained it was a horrendous experience, ¿¿¿That¿¿¿s nice, eighty six pounds please.I explained that my company had paid, no apology when I questioned she would have taken the money and did you hear my complaints....I suggest you avoid, it¿¿¿s a fourth rate hotel that¿¿¿s worse than the basic Premier Inn or Travel Lodge.I certainly won¿¿¿t be back.

-very nice as friendly receptionist, offered lots if advice about the area-2 restaurants across the car park, a Harvester type restaurant and a Chinese which was recommended. As a Priority Club member the Chinese has a 10% discount! -nice room, big enough for a double bed and double sofa bed (just)-great shower, not so comfortable bed

We stayed here for 1 night as it was near to where we needed to be. The service and room were good but was really let down by the breakfast. The cooked breakfast consisted of sausages, scrambled eggs and beans, nothing more! Travelodges manage a better breakfast than this at half the price for the same standard room. ¿¿5 for a bottle of cider was over the top as well.

Stayed here for 2 nights for locality to work meetings. Travelodge style (but a level up), decent sized room with all basic needs. Small bar area to relax, ate at the chinese resturant opposite both nights(!) (fantastic food by the way), ample parking (ensure you put in your reg into the electronic pad at reception to avoid any fines), Breakfast included in the price but I would highly recommend to stick with the cereal, toast etc and not the hot sausage, egg or beans - hot food is barely edible, I made an attempt but quickly gave up(!) Free wi-fi is only available in the lobby, ¿¿7 if you want to use in your room. Would use again though.

Stayed here for one night on a weekend, with my family. I travel on business a lot, and use Travelodge¿¿¿s mostly. However Holiday Inn were offering Wi-Fi and breakfast, which as I had family I thought it would be good to include. When I am on my own in the week I grab a coffee from the nearest Pret. Unfortunately, the hotel is very tired, the rooms in need of a refit. The beds very uncomfortable. The breakfast was honestly awful. In terms of cooked, you can only have scrambled eggs, beans and sausage. No bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. I found this strange.The most off putting however was there was a dog show in town, and the hotel was full of dogs, which were apparently allowed to stay in the rooms? I confess I am not a ¿¿¿dog person¿¿¿ but even so, I was surprised them being allowed in the rooms. The hotel is right next to the M6, which is very loud. Luckily we were in a room away from the motorway, but if you are a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the road.
