I have stayed here a few times as I was on a massage training course located at the Regus offices behind the hotel. I really like the fact that it's so accessible, just off the motorway junction.

Staff were always very pleasant and helpful. I did have a few problems the first stay due to being in an adjoining room, but the staff couldn't be more apologetic, unlike the other guests! I asked to stay in a non adjoining room the next stays and all was fine.

I always found breakfast nice! Rooms always cleaned daily and stocked up with towels/ tea/ coffee etc... Drinks at the bar abit pricey. Food available over the road/ takeaway menus available/ sainsburys/ m&s services not far away/ pizzas & sandwiches from the bar.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and I'm sure I will!

Located 2 minutes from the M5 junction 29, the hotel location avoids the need to navigate Exeter city centre, but still within 15 minutes drive to the city (20 minutes to the University). Parking is ample and free, which doesn't occur with city centre hotels.

The layout is very standard for the chain (this was our first visit, but my family thought we had been before), but it's modern, tidy and clean. The rooms are "big enough" for an overnight stay, not for a longer stay though. We like that there is an option for more than 2 to stay, at £25/night premium per added person.

We didn't sample the bar, or the adjacent pub restaurant, but they looked OK. Breakfast was reasonable, but don't expect lots of choice.

Comfort of the bed was an issue for my wife, as it was quite 'bouncy' .

Everything else was fine.

Natural smile of the staff all time, helpful gesture from the employees, affordable room with the breakfast, clean, spacious, good location!! What else you need for your stay? We had a god stay.

This Holiday Inn Express is located just off the Junction 29 of the M5 motorway and on the outskirts of Exeter. However, for ease and cheapness of travel into Exeter there is the Honiton Rd Park and Ride facility just across the road. The journey in to the city takes between 20-30 minutes and saves you money on finding and paying for parking in the city. However, be aware that Park and Ride ends early in the evening.

Book a week in advance and you can get a very good rate for a comfortable double room and buffet breakfast. Room was clean and quite spacous - mine had desk and sofa. Adequately sized bathroom. One potential problem was when the toilet was flushed in the morning some water continued to flow into the bowl and did not stop. This would have been noisy and a problem if this had happened during the night. I informed reception on checking out and I understand the problem was dealt with before the next arrivals. Free internet was available in the lounge area, but reasonable charges if required in your room.

Breakfast was simple but quite varied from fruits, cereals, breads/toast, cheeses and cold meats as well as limited cooked items.

Overall a very comfortable stay and good value for money. I intend to use this hotel again when visiting friends in Exeter.
