Verified reviews of Holiday Inn Express Colchester by Ihg

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Lovely room but too hot with no climate controls."
Overall score4.0/ 5
I had two double beds, just for me. Nice and clean, desk if pretty cramped with it being at the foot of one of the beds. Nice bathroom and generous shower proportions. Room was very hot despite opening both windows the couple of inches that they would go (like many hotel rooms), arrive late and was too tired to go back to reception to raise it so I only mentioned it in the morning. The person on reception noted it down to speak with the maintenance team. Comfy bed, clean room, good breakfast but temperature was like trying to sleep on the surface of the sun.
