Holiday Inn Express Grimsby, an IHG Hotel

Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and there was a daily room cleaning service. Buffet breakfast was great. Tea and coffee making available in the room. Very good shower and adjustable air conditioning in the room was a bonus. Cons: Room is advertised as having TV with cable channels, but the channels were freeview and half of them didn't work with retuning from the menu blocked. Floors were very creaky and woke the family whenever I walked to get to the toilet during the night. Parking is available but at an additional cost (£9 overnight, payable before exiting). Overall it is a lovely convenient place to stay and this was our 2nd time at the hotel.

One point was the time waiting for the food at breakfast. I had to wait over 25 mintues for the hash browns and over 20 minutes for the bacon and the sausages and at 09.25 there were no baps left. Whilst my family eat I had toast and marmalade , toast with scrambled eggs. They really need to plan according too the number of guests.

I've stayed here many times due to the location being great and accessibility. This was a family stay and most enjoyable. The only downside was there was three of us and the pull out bed had really large joints out springs on which made sleeping uncomfortable. Other amenities good.

Felt very clean and staff were lovely. Room was great,although we had booked for 2 adults and a child but the sofa bed wasn't open and made up when we arrived. That said, it wasn't hard to pull it open and there was bedding enclosed in the sofa bed so we just shared pillows. Breakfast the next morning was very tasty and a great selection especially considering it is included in the price. There isn't very much available in the surrounding area as it is very residential. But it is quiet and plenty of parking available in surrounding car parks.
