Great stay as always

This is my regular go to hotel when visiting Essex/London. Very easy to get to, just off the M25 and very close to Lakeside Shopping Centre. There is plenty of parking. Check in is quick. Rooms are spacious and clean with a well stocked complimentary tea tray and complimentary toiletries. Bed is comfortable and shower is great. Staff are all very nice and friendly, especially Donna, Kirsty, Jamie and Theresa who always make you feel like a friend more than a guest. Will definitely be back again soon.

Not a disabled friendly hotel but staff were good

I was staying at the hotel to attend a family function. One in my party was my mother who is disabled. I am disappointed that no-one from the hotel replied back to an email I had sent them for a room with limited stair climbing. They don't have a lift. We had arrived late after a tiring 5 hour journey, checked in only to find out they allocated a 2nd floor room which mean't asking a disabled person to walk 2 steep flight of stairs which is not acceptable. Teresa was a massive help and adjusted the room allocation for my mother to stay on the 1st floor. A big shout there - thank you. Jamie was a massive help also for accomodating requests late in the evening. A big shout here too - thank you.

This hotel isnt fit for purpose. Hotel is clearly old and in much need of a complete refurb or even better still, knock it down! Abandoned football ground next door completely derelict and area doesnt exactly feel safe as signs all in car parks warning of crime. You couldnt pay me yo stay in this place again! Expedia, I would take this off your list now as the photos you've used dont show this hotel in its true light.

Average Hotel

Had to call a number on arrival as there was no one at reception when i arrived during the day. My room had everything i needed including a fan as my room was hot. There was a horrible odour in my room which smelt like cigarettes and the bathroom smelt of drains. The bed was comfortable and i slept well. Unfortunately i woke to lots of insect bites.

Ok hotel if you don’t like good service or helpful

I had to call reception at 9.20 as suddenly a smell of a drug was coming into my room. The receptionist said she would come and investigate as I believed it to be coming from the room next door. Nobody came! I called again and the reception line just rang out. The smell was making me feel uncomfortable. I have had to use a quarter bottle of perfume to try and disguise the small
