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.

Rooms was on the small side. 4' 6" bed, but very comfortable. Room didn't have any workable ventalation. All work surfaces paint gloss grey, but were sticky, In the bath room everything worked. But shower didn't drain quickly, so could flood the room. No curtain or blind at window, likewise for the single window at the rear.. Had to get kettle replaced, as it blew the fuses. On Saturday night alot of noise from the occupants of rooms above until 2.30pm. Glad we were only staying 2nights.

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.

The hotel is not what was advertised. The green areas were over grown, there was rubbish and furniture dumped by doors and it felt very unsafe for lone women visitors. The electric sockets were broken and there were fluid stains on the wall. The bathroom was the only positive as it had obviously just been updated. The staff were nice and asked why I was leaving after an hour of being in the room. They said they could move the room, however when you feel unsafe and the hotel looking in a state of disrepair, even a move of room would not be acceptable. I would not return to this hotel unless they refurbished it to a higher standard and took into account that having dumped rubbish by main doors is not acceptable in anyone's view.

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.

Very reasonable budget hotel

Very reasonable budget hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small basic room but clean and tidy, decent bathroom with good size shower. Plenty of hot water. Overall, it suited me perfectly.

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.

Room was ok with a comfy bed and decent en-suite. Decor was not good and everything was very basic. As renovation work is under way it was a bit of a strange environment. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful but there were not many people around. No restaurant facilities at present.

The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

Clean and staff friendly, hotel needs a bit of TLC to be honest. Shower worked fine in the room on day one, next morning after a run there was no water and then intermittent bursts of cold water

Good, but room for improvement

Staff friendly enough. Room was clean & tidy & bathroom was really nice. Hotel is having maintenance with building works outside. Room had recently been painted & had a very strong smell. Understand maintenance is required, but drilling at 8am on any day, especially a Sunday was unacceptable, also without any notice.

Lovely big shower, but you wait 10 minutes for the trickle of hot water. They are doing up the hotel, but clearly on a tight budget. Internet tv only, which keeps loosing signal. On the positive, comfortable bed and my room was away from the road and hence very quiet. Warm welcome from receptionist, who walked me to my room, but he did not offer help with my bags.

This basic type hotel seems to be just starting up? I expect it will be much better in the future. Staff are very nice and seemed very enthusiastic Bathroom very nice in the room I was in, which was small but nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable. On the downside it was thick with building dust which I cleaned from the air as well as the surfaces before I could sleep there - this was back in March 2025. They seemed to welcome my suggestion that they next get a good cleaner. I hope they did. Paper thin walls.
