Great value for money city hotel
I got a train into Chelmsford for n the afternoon ready for a hospital operation the next day . I met with a young guy at the bar who was staff .he was friendly helpful and a nice intro . The Room was a nice temperature. They gave me an upgrade so I had a king-size bed which is great for my height and difficulty with my legs . Everything was clean and pleasant . Shower and towels really good . Coffee machine and TV . There was a good chair for me to sit and read a paper . There is only single glaze windows so it is noisy on the front street . But that stops about 12 midnight . If I was going out for a meal and some drinks it would be fine . Anyone who is a light sleeper before 12 I wouldn't advise this room. But it suited my needs fine . The bed was really comfortable and it looks like a recent refurbishment. It was a 10 min walk to station and I use crutches . I had a pick up from the taxi the next morning early . There seems to be restaurants and takeaways close by for choice and it's close to town centre . The price was excellent and to me it was good value for money . I didn't try the food at the pub because of my medical circumstances. But I would have done so . I managed the stairs to the rear of the property to get to the toom as there was an adequate rail and good robust iron staircase . I am having a knee replacement. I would have given it 4 stars if it was quieter Although it didn't bother me too much

Don’t book.
Windows is not soundproof and older than my grandpa. Plus lock is broken big concern for safety. My room beside a busy road. Whole nights hearing the car drive past noise and windows shaking noise. You have be get drunk to stay sleep unfortunately I don’t drink. Dust behind bed and chair around the room everywhere.

Good value for money however as a non smoker I didn’t like the stale smoke smell. No curtains was a bit weird to close off street lights. Bathroom shower head and around door could do with a clean
