Friendly and helpful, and seemed a nice area. Parking was on the road with permit but we arrived mid afternoon so no problem finding space but full early evening. The breakfast was nice in a proper old fashioned guest house sort of way.

This is an older property and average condition but very clean. It is 17 minute walk to Southend Central train station. Hotel has a wonderful breakfast in a delightful breakfast room overlooking the garden or street. It is easy walking to the Pier or High Street for shopping or along the ocean promenade.
