Had a very pleasant young lady welcome us. Room had everything we needed. Trying to sleep all I could hear was woman shouting "Get off me, get off me. I was concerned until I heard children running around. This went on for quite a while. Bed was comfortable, not so the pillows. Breakfast was tasty, but could have been hotter. Didn't appreciate people coming coming to breakfast in their nightwear, they are NOT at home.

Great. Five stars
We stayed at the Harlow holiday in express. The room was perfect, the breakfast was great for free. We had a walk through the town and trip to the Wetherspoon pub and even saw what looked like a recent Banksy near it.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The reception area was nicely decorated for Christmas, the room was big, and the bathroom seemed newly renovated. However, the loo seat and the inside of the lid had splash marks that had not been wiped, the shower gel container was empty (so we had to wash with shampoo), the couch in the room had many dodgy looking stains, and the cleaning staff knocked at our door bright and early on New Year’s Day(!), despite still having over an hour before checkout. And the breakfast times were set for midweek times, despite being a bank holiday.
