"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"
