Positives: Pleasant staff Clean, quiet, spacious, comfortable rooms Comfortable beds with good quality pillows and bedding Tasty breakfast Decent, reasonably priced bar Good location for exploring SE Essex What could be better: No food served other than breakfast Rooms and hallways need updating - especially more powerpoints and larger screen TVs We had two rooms, 27 & 28, the key for 27 opened the door lock of 28 - could be a security issue Limited close parking - had to use car park a couple of streets away No lift.

Room was simple and clean. Busy pub below and very noisy even after closing after midnight. Parking inconvenient and felt unsafe. No lift was difficult. Was excited for breakfast but there was a water issue with a note taped on the door that breakfast would not be provided. Disappointed.

Honest Hotel, good for Business stop.
Town centre Hotel. Been stopping there a few years. Business/ working mans Hotel. No on site parking. Very basic rooms but all needs are catered for. Prices have steadily risen over the last year or so and now it's getting into the price range of chain hotels so I would be looking at those now too.
