Had to pay £2.50 per night extra for car parking in hotel residents area which was dirty and broken glass laying about. The room was very spacious, plenty of furniture but rather dated. No mirror in the bathroom which was a bit odd as it had a shaver point. Had to go into the hallway to use mirror to remove makeup or shave.

The room was clean and tidy and a good size. The price was excellent. There was spilled paint on the floor outside the door of my room which was not very inviting, but apart from that everything else was good.

Awful

Check in was good we were offered an extra hour in the morning free of charge however this is the only positive thing I can say about our stay. When you are paying for a hotel room I think that it’s a liberty that you then have to pay for parking, the hotel is not easy accessible so obviously if you are staying there you will have a car. There was no mirror in the room for doing hair or make up, the only one was in the bathroom, the tv didn’t work, internet didn’t work, we had about 5 squares of toilet roll on the roll and no spare, the tea and coffee tray didn’t have any tea bags and only had one small pot of milk so we couldn’t even have a much needed coffee due to not actually being able to sleep. There was a horrendous noise every 10 secs it sounded like we had a washing machine in the room with us, upon inspection my husband located the noise, there was some kind of pump in the ceiling in the hallway which had had the ceiling tile removed causing it sound even louder than it should have been. Needless to say we didn’t have a restful night. When I went to check out I wanted to raise my concerns with someone but reception is only made for minimal hours there was a WhatsApp number to contact someone so have tried that and I’m still awaiting a reply have also tried to call but the phone is switched off!!!

Beds not comfortable. Parking chargeable although nothing near the property. No signage about charges. The continental breakfast was dire! Restaurant caused very strong smells to permeate the rooms that come off the courtyard. Not enough supplies of tea and uht milk. Clean but decor very dated and tired. Usable for a cheap stay although price changes almost daily. Feel that £50 should be the maximum for this property.

Rooms are basic and need updating. Rooms are very cold, radiator doesn't seem to work, but makes a lot of noise. Bathroom not very clean, more care could be taken when cleaning. Reception staff nice and welcoming.

8 legged freaks were amongst us....

We thought the hotel is nice and good value for money however, you get what you pay for, I guess in this instance. We found 3 large spiders that were fast and scary looking. So in terms of cleanliness, we are not too keen. Also, paying for parking, it should be free since it's remote.

Didn’t like you fact you had to pay extra for parking, that should have been included in the room! The Indian food was excellent but don’t serve alcohol. And breakfast wasn’t a proper breakfast like a hotel should be, (breakfast on the go) after asking staff about the breakfast we got told to come down in the morning and collect it before we go, so we did at 10:30 but was told we missed breakfast it stopped at 10! It was only a toastie and a drink! Bed was very comfortable and clean and room we very quiet! But need up dating and smelt very musky in the room

The restaurant and food were very good, but its a non alcoholic restaurant. When youve travelled a long way, its sometimes nice to have a glasd if wine with your dinner. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Our particular room was clean and spacious. The only negative things i have to say is that there seemed to have been something like a massarator or something like that that kept pulsating during the night and the water pressure wasnt brilliant. The curtains weren't great either. When you closed them they seem to be so far away from the window that you could still see into the room. I would stay here again.

The room was spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom had high-end toiletries. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We enjoyed the delicious and freshly made food at the hotel restaurant.

The first time you stay with them they put you in a lovely big and refurbished room and anytime after that they stick you in a dirty old fashioned tiny room. Tried to complain to reception and they couldn’t have cared less and told me to take it up with Expedia. Avoid at all costs, not clean, safe or even anyone around to help. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN

It’s a good size room. It’s a good place to stay when you are working away. 13-15 minutes drive to Basildon city centre. In a nice quiet location. Hot shower very slow probably needs more pressure on hot water. Sometimes the cleaner make your bed up but don’t clean your coffee cups and not clean the bathroom haha. Sometimes no cleaning service and the rubbish you left outside your door in the morning it’s still be there when you come back at night lol. I’m not complaining but I hope my comment will help improve this hotel. Parking should be free for guests as it is out of town location. Bazaan restaurant, great food. No alcohol which is understandable in respect of religion but not serving tap water is disappointing. I ordered a mocktail but I want to drink a glass of water after the food and sweet cocktail but I was told they don’t serve tap water, you can only buy a small bottle of water for £2. I will be happy to book this hotel again but also hoping to see an improvement of there services.
