Holiday Inn Express London - Stansted Airport

Standard hotel

The staff were very friendly and polite. The shuttle bus to/from the airport costs £4 each way for 3 minute journey which seemed a little steep to me. I had an early flight so had to leave the hotel by 4:30 am which meant I did not get the hot breakfast included in the price of the stay. There was continental breakfast from 4 am to 6 am so I did manage to grab a coffee and a croissant. Room had air con, was clean but the shower had a shower curtain which I dislike. 

It was good for a 1-night stay for early flights out of Stanstead My only issue was that there was nothing I wanted to eat available on the menu in the evening. Everything I chose was out of stock, so I had to have a small garden salad and nothing else, which was not very filling for a nightly meal. There isn't anywhere else you can go for food so this is the only option. Please note the breakfast is only cold options until after 6am so if you have an early flight you might (like me) just end up with yogurt, and when you only had a garden salad for dinner this is very disappointing. Another note is the shuittle comes once every 30 mins to take you to the airport on the hour and 30 mins past sokeep that in mind when going down for breakfast as well.
