For the price ..£78 and an extra £25 for early check in is a joke ...the quality was not good and the whole place needs refurbishment...2 tea bags and 2 tiny towels ...a lick of paint would cost nothing

The hotel is run down and the rooms are very basic and need modernising. A lot of the rooms are not used.

Ok to get your head down.
No on site facilities no bar or restaurant no vending machines
Only 1 bath towel for a double room
Room was clean but dated as was the surroundings.. like a building site.
No key drop off or anyone on reception when leaving.
Tea making facilities very basic and not enough for 2 people.

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.

the Staff was very friendly, available and went above and beyond their duty to aid a senior couple, especially Mr. Iqbal. if we ever go back to UK, we would not hesitate to stay there again.

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.

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 hotel is in really bad condition, the room was large but very very basic and beds comfortable but the carpet was threadbare, there was no hot water, the wardrobe was infested with moths, no remote for the TV woken up every hour by noises guests and I have woken up this morning with bites on my legs and arms.
I really don’t expect to have an experience like this when I book through Hotels.com!

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.

Convenient, but with limitations.
Reception was friendly and check-in quick.
The room itself was fine, although the bed sheets did have a strange aroma, almost like smoke! I stayed for 3 nights and the first two (Friday and Saturday) there was a lot of noise from neighbouring guests, going on until 3 in the morning! The location was convenient for the visits I needed to make, but you do need a car! Only food available was a nearby service station or delivered takeaway. Having said all that, I would probably use it again in the future.

Would not recommend
Didn’t get there until 1am as at an event in Chelmsford. Got in the room and the window was open and there was a horrible smell of weed and sewage but the room was so hot we needed the window open. There were mouse traps in the room. Tried putting the tv on but didn’t work. The door didn’t lock from the inside, no plug by the bed just went to sleep as so tired. This morning went to have a shower and had no water at all couldn’t even brush our teeth. Would not recommend.

Horrendous
Just awful. The bathroom door wouldn't shut. A weird window to the front of the room had no blinds or curtains so light was streaming in all night. The view was a derelict building on one side and the other a demolished part of the original hotel. At night they padlock the car park gates...no mention of this at reception when checking in. You had to call the hotel to be let in. Just glad i had my phone with me. No restauarant, no bar, no vending machine for water. This was a mix of Batea Motel and Hotel California. Do not waste your money. How they can charge £80 for one night is beyond me. How they can even advertise this place as a hotel is shocking enough. Just awful!

Overall it was ok but wouldn’t return
Site was not well signed so thought I had arrived to a private property not the location of the hotel. Bathroom was really nice and modern but the rest of the room was not the same style. Unfortunately the fire alarm was set off during the night and no guests knew what the procedure was so this could be reinforced on arrival of future customers

The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the lead for the kettle could only b plugged in if you took the plug out of the tv. But I believe they r addressing this. Also I couldn’t get terrestrial tv, but that was possibly me. I had to go through apps.
The bed was really comfy and the room was what ever temperature you wanted it to be. I would stay again.
Although it might b good if they get slow closing doors, as you do hear your neighbors

Give it a miss
Very tired hotel on the point of closing. No catering available and no alternatives close by. Only positive is how quiet it was. Not recommended
