It was just what we needed for 1 night stay, we can see it is being refurb and will look amazing when done, rooms where adequate all newly done. Nice comfy bed, close to places to eat if the restaurant closed. Will we definitely go back again for a longer stay when going to Chelmsford.

The most likeable thing about this hotel is the staff. Lovey people, went out of their way to make me comfortable. The hotel could definitely do with an upgrade though, especially for business travel stays. Brilliant for on site parking.

Good car parking space, comfortable bed, could maybe do with modernising but overall not a bad stay. 1 downside was there was a bit of noice as it’s just off the A12 and the doors rattled.

Staff at reception pleasant enough. Could be a great place .. very big ! And possibly in process of renovation ? Not quite as pictures suggest sadly. Just not as clean as it really could be . Also tv in our room very poor and only couple of channels worked .didnt use it enough to worry thankfully,despite staying 2 nights . Bed seemed clean enough just general room/ shower cleanliness .

Arrived and seem to take an age to check in.... Then got to the room and an immediate power cut. Not the hotels fault, and took over an hour to get back on. Manager was very apoligetic. TV in a real stange place, bathroom was clean and looked refitted but...low quality fitting... strange! All worked ok, Kettle was corded, which meant i needed to take it all to fill it with water. Bed was clean and comfy and once the heater got to temp not too bad.

Parking was good, plenty of spaces and places to park. Staff helpful It was clean but no frills. I had no hot water but they fixed it and the water was hot then cold. They have no place to eat and finding a good take away to deliver was challenging. I was in a large van so hard to pop out to get food. Very basic

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The sheets were clean, the bed was comfortable, the TV worked, the shower head and toilet bowl were dirty. Both these things ought to be spotless in a hotel, if they have cleaners then they are not doing their job properly!! The room was set for one person when the booking stated 2. We asked for another mug but didn’t realise about just one large towel until we had a shower and at that point just shared as unable to contact the desk unless we walked over to them. The price was cheap but even so cleanliness should still be a high priority. I would stay there again as when your budget is low there aren’t too many choices.
