Hotel Holiday Inn Express Harlow, an IHG Hotel
Crown Gate Essex, Harlow, CM20 1NB, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Everything was perfect and value for money. It’s the only hotel in the town center and close to all local amenities. The best thing about this hotel is the staff, they are the most generous, helpful, kind and polite. Although, everyone was so helpful and kind but I would especially like to mention and recommend Emilia, she is one of the best and she has helped me whenever and whatever I have asked her, so thank you so much for everything.
