Holiday Inn Express Shrewsbury, an IHG Hotel

We love this hotel ,it is in a quiet area ,there is plenty of parking outside which is free to customers .We are always met by friendly smiling staff at reception who make the checking in process efficient and quick ,We had a standard double room on the ground floor there are stairs and a lift to the upper floor ,the room was very spacious and clean ,we weren't there to live in the room ,it was somewhere to get our heads down at night and so we were very impressed at how much space we had ,the bed was very comfortable too. Breakfast is included in the price which is an eat all you want Buffet style with plenty of choice from hot and cold food and drinks . There is a bar in the hotel and there is a menu for food if you fancy something to eat later with prices clearly shown ,there is also a vending machine for snacks like crisps etc . Even though the hotel is just on the outskirts of shrewsbury it is only a short Taxi ride into the town where there is so much choice for places to eat and drink to suit all tastes and there is a vibrant night life too . The hotel is close to major roads with links to the motor way .

Friendly efficient check-in. Realistic £10 charge for a dog. Large well equipped room with clean good size ensuite shower room. Super comfortable King size bed. There was a pull out sofa bed in our room that we didn't use but would have been great for a family andstill plenty of space. Modern minimalist but very tasteful decorations and furniture (plenty of hangers.) For a budget price, a very good room. Breakfast included was very good and plenty of choice and quantity.

The hotel itself and the rooms were spotless and smelt very clean and fresh. Staff were all so friendly and helpful. Housekeeping are a credit to the hotel. Only slight letdown was the food at the evening which was very limited, most of the menu was unavailable, so quite a few of the guest (many rooms booked as all attending a wedding localy) all had to order take away. Breakfast on both morning was lovely & plenty of choice so dont understand why the kitchen had issues at the evening. Maybe bad stock taking. One point we advised reception about which they advised us to report in writing was my parents had booked the double disabled room and struggled with only one chair to share in the room for them sit on. There needs to be two chairs in this room. Would use this hotel if in this area again if the evening food issue was sorted out.

Lots of choice for breakfast, the room was spacious, clean and comfy . Iron and ironing board in the room also a hairdryer. The staff were very nice and helpful

Hotel was great and a good base for Shrewsbury and the local Shropshire area. The staff we were great and really helpful when we had any queries, two of these were down to providing some extra hangers and a different pillow. Yes you either have to go out in the car for dinner or taxi like others have said but that didn’t bother us there are a couple of pubs not far away that are great (Riverside Inn and Mytton & Mermaid), advise booking both busy and both by the river and the food was fab and we could have got a taxi in to Shrewsbury if needed. Rooms and bathroom were spacious.
