Good value no-frills hotel

Basic hotel experience but everything was good. Room was clean and tidy, good sized TV that worked well. Bathroom was clean, shower was a nice temperature. Breakfast cooked to order was lovely, again just the basics of a full English but all nicely cooked.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was really basic, tired and freezing cold as the heating wasn't put on, despite me requesting it. It was a budget double. However the bathroom wasn't bad and I enjoyed nice hot baths. The staff were pleasant, and the breakfast was good. The bar was dingey and I didn't like having to go in there if the reception wasn't manned. Parking was a lottery, but I was mostly lucky. The location was convenient to ASDA and lovely sea walks at Marsh Farm and Burnham on Crouch.

Pleasant stay

It’s a nice basic hotel with friendly staff in a nice area. There was tea and coffee in the room and breakfast was really nice. The best place to park was the car park at Tyler’s Ride which is a short walk away. There are lots of options nearby for food and there was a band at the hotel

Disliked: Amenities
Very central and close to many eating places . Hardly any hotel parking , but luckily found somewhere nearby . It’s barely a 2 star hotel. , and really does need money spent on it . However the restaurant staff had a lovely welcoming manner , and the breakfast was great.
