The room i had was very dated , definitely need new mattress i nearly rolled off the sides were so worn. Uncomfortablly hot , there was a single fan but no plug socket near bed to have it near me so pointless. Luckily i was very tired so would have slept in a clothes line . Next morning i noticed everything was very clean bathroom was fine had everything i needed and also very clean . Breakfast was lovely vegetarian fry up amd toast , there was cereal and fruit juice on offer service was quick and all the staff i met were very helpful and accomodating . Really does.need updating such a shame its like this

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.
