"Tired hotel on the outskirts of Colchester. The least friendly check in I’ve ever had at a hotel, miserable receptionist. The room stank of cigarette smoke and the cleanliness left a bit to be desired!"

"Yes"

"Another great stay at this hotel. Great staff and breakfast and very comfortable rooms. "

"Getting a little run down. Homeless people camping outside . Rooms need more maintenance done.. cleaning can be a little better "

"Nice property, helpful staff, peaceful location"

"Not the fanciest hotel but adequate for a single night. Room was a good size with plenty of space for luggage. The drive to Stansted Airport in the morning was quick and straightforward."

"Dirty towels on the corridor floor for at least 20 hours. Room carpet badly stained. Room smelt musty and was tired and poorly equipped. Key cards kept failing and had to be reprogrammed. Communal areas were grim and unwelcoming. A very depressing stay despite the staff trying to be helpful. "

"Enjoyed breakfast very much. All fresh produce "

"The location of the hotel is quite unusual -adjacent to what appears to be a truck stop & apart from some fast food kiosks inside the commercial centre, there are no other food options nearby. My welcome was enthusiastic & friendly & Debie, on reception, went to some effort to ensure I had a quiet room .(10/10 Debie!) Room was clean & although not large, was adequate for a short stay. Dinner menu was limited -although the curry I enjoyed, was outstanding. Breakfast not so much. Adequate -but quite a limited range & definitely not exciting. Gluten free options didn't seem to be readily available & bread was the usual supermarket mass produced quality I am definitely not a fan of the practice of penalty pricing for breakfast or the reluctance to adjust the dinner pricing when 1 item was not available. The ONLY bus service to here is number 509 from Stansted airport- even though some sites will show other options. It is also not possible to walk. Stansted only has 1 hotel within the airport , so a public bus will service pretty much everything else. A quiet location & a reasonable choice in this price range"
