Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG
"Carpet in the hall way was all lifted and was a trip hazard. You have to pay for parking which you would expect in a city centre hotel but not one just off a dual carriageway. I was staying for work, no mobile network and the WiFi didn’t work so I couldn’t do any work."
