Regular stays at this Holiday Inn Express. Room on this occasion a little tired and dated. Holes in sheets, poor shower pressure and old TV. Breakfast was good. The lift is slow and you can wait along time for it. Parking easy, however shouldn't have to pay for it.

Cleanliness not great but ok
Breakfast spot on but only down side was no proper eggs as in fried but not the end of the world overall breakfast was very good
Staff all very friendly
Room was nice but cleanliness could be improved
The only fault I had is it was bloody cold as heating didn’t work
But I get that as it costs money and for me that’s what a duvet is for
So for the money I paid and what I received was bloody good value

This hotel brings joy to me each time I stay there. Their breakfast was amazing. The sausages tendered their juices and variety was in point. I would recommend this hotel any time to anyone looking for a good hotel in the Dartford area .

Holiday Inn Express Dartford is very similar to other Holiday Inn Express we have stayed in. The check in service was good and I was offered a drink on the house while waiting to be checked in. Karen at the check in desk was very helpful, showed me the available rooms and explained other options, provide additional towels when requested. The hotel appeared fairly full.
Also when requested they extended our stay and check out to noon rather than 11am.
So, it appears a better value than other similar chains, especially since in offers breakfast, whereas other places you have to pay extra for breakfast

I have booked it for a friend and my friend detected illness and had to take a serious operation hence she couldn’t go to the trip. I didn’t get any notice from the hotel to check whether I would stay or not. In the end I was charged full price without staying there. It’s a shame that they couldn’t put other people’s sickness into account. 英国的酒店缺乏人文关怀,朋友生病需要开刀,并不接受取消。

Had a brief over night stay, on the whole good for the money. Tho a couple of things :
1. Didn't know had to pay for parking
2. Heater took ages to work out, and get warm
3. No TV remote
4. Couldn't get out of car park for the shear volume of large gas canisters in the road
Breakfast was good value and plentiful
Staff were pleasant and helpful
