Holiday Inn Express Taunton East by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Taunton East by IHG

8/10 Good
"Hotel was in good condition, however one of the lights for bedtime reading was blown and the bathroom bin hadn't been emptied, but for one night, it was ok. Food was not the best both breakfast and evening. Breakfast hot food was barely warm and evening was the same after waiting 30mins after ordering and only being us and another couple dining. There was a restaurant next door however they fill up fast and had no spaces for us, hence eating in the hotel. In review....book the restaurant next door ahead of time! Staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful which was very nice."
