Express by Holiday Inn Stoke-on-Trent

Always friendly and welcoming as is the adjacent restaurant. The hotel is right by the footie ground so it's pretty lively on match days. This is acually quite a pleasant change from the normally dull 'business' hotels

Exactly what you would expect from a Holiday Inn Express. Minimum requirements covered so it's OK for an overnight business stay. Certainly would not stay at any Express for leisure!! Breakfast was 'continental' which basically means nothing hot, unless you make your own toast! In summary, rooms are comfortable with everything you'd expect. Staff were friendly enough. A standard, business type hotel.

The room was perfectly adequate for two people, good sized shower room and all very clean. Room was advertised as family room for up to four people, however when the sofa bed was made up there was barely space to move around the room and hanging and storage space for clothing / bags etc very limited. Our son found the sofabed very uncomforatble too. Too cramped for a family but great for a couple. We chose this hotel as it had WiFi, however the hotel information did not state that WiFi access was an additional charge. Check your bill if you book through late rooms as they tried to charge a higher rate for our room than that advertised on laterooms.com - keep your e mail confirming rate at booking!

Lovely hotel spotless helpful staff rather noisy traffic due to being on the side of the motorway would book earlier next time and ask for room on other side of hotel.
Otherwise excellent.
