“Holiday Inn Basildon stands out, particularly for its dedicated staff and the quality of its dining, as noted in what I've explored about the hotel. The lakeside setting within Festival Leisure Park adds a dimension of relaxation, and the accessibility features are commendable; the breakfast area's staircase is a challenge for some guests. In my opinion, this Holiday Inn offers a solid base for exploring the area, especially for families and business travelers.”

excessive breakfast price poor public transport
the room was large and very clean. the location suited my needs.
The breakfast price was excessive. a far better restaurant is available next door with cheaper options. i needed to use taxis frequently because the hotel is too far from the station and bus station with very poor public transport. This.

A Nice Stay

friendly staff great breakfast delicious drinks
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful (Christina was amazing!). I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast upstairs with my food cooked exactly to my liking. Downstairs, the meeting spaces were great. I had a delicious hot chocolate, and my mum enjoyed a caramel macchiato.
The hotel charged a daily parking fee, which I found a bit unexpected.

Quick check and friendly staff

quick check great attitude
Genna, the receptionist, ensured a quick and easy check in after my long drive. She also sorted my parking and offered a FREE drink after I signed up for the IHG member account. It was a GREAT attitude and she seemed to be a good ambassador for the brand.
no electric on entering the hotel room. i waited for maintenance to sort it. a worker said they don't serve long island ice teas, even though they were on your menu. it took ages to make it wrong plus it was overpriced
