Booked same day for a one-night stop over. Wanted somewhere with parking and close to the motorway for onward journey the following day. I'd say it was relatively expensive for what it was, but it was August bank holiday weekend so I think they were full. The room was reasonably modern, was comfortable and clean, but was adequate rather than having any "wow" about it. The onsite parking was an extra charge but wasn't expensive. Buffet breakfast was included in the price, which was a bonus. The breakfast quality was ok, with a choice of cereal, as well as bacon, sausage, egg etc. Overall, my stay was ok. If the price and location fits your needs I would recommend this hotel for a short stopover.

Receptionist was welcome and realised I had walking problems she offered us a room near to reception which was ideal. Disabled parking spots were taken. Not all displaying badges.

Good value for money on the Fri fee of Exeter. Shame that parking was not free given the large car park. Bed was large and comfy and free breakfast was great. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Bathroom has a cool feature using one door to lock the toilet while leaving the bath and sink accessible.

Can’t beat a Holiday Inn Express for value. Easter weekend so they gave the guests free parking! Class act! Was busy with families and young kids but remarkably, the families respected the guests and kept the kids to a minimum disruption while allowing the kids to be kids!! I love Holiday Inn free breakfasts but this one was different. Running out of things constantly (eggs) and the juice machine was water with a color in it. Orange and apple juice was tasteless. But that’s the negatives. The staff were great and the location was good, with a Miller and Carter almost in the same parking lot. Safe and a nice area close to the freeway.

Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. We were lucky enough to get free parking for the holiday weekend. Parking spaces are limited and many people don't park well making it even more difficult. Breakfast was good, even though it was full booked everything was well stocked and plenty of room to sit. My only criticism was the noise from the road, disturbed me throughout the night on both nights of our stay

Guests shouldn’t have to pay for parking given the hotel is on the outskirts of Exeter.

Good sized room. Limited evening meal options, but Miller and Carter across car park, but booking well ahead needed. Paid parking.

We chose this hotel for convenience as flying from Exeter airport the next morning. Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming, room had all needed amenities and bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was included making this a great value stay. Will definitely stay here again.
