Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast provided a good level of choice and was tasty. The only downside for us was that there was a high level of noise from a band (I assume) playing in the bar downstairs which we found irritating when trying to settle down to sleep. Otherwise we were very happy with the hotel.

We have stayed at The Victory three times now, it is very convenient if you want to go out for food around West Mersea and don't want to worry about driving. Plus it is close to the seafront walk of West Mersea Beach. Rooms are very clean, plus you have the advantage that they are part of a pub, therefore the ability to step down for a drink or food at any point.
