"Initially checked into a used room and then asked to come down for breakfast at 8AM and no one was actually there until 8.30AM.After waiting for 30 mins for breakfast I had to leave as the microwave was constantly in use which made me worry I was going to be served food that was not fresh.Personally I got the value of what I paid for but it is not a well run place to be honest."

What is a historic hotel like in Chelmsford?
A guest who chooses a historic hotel has an opportunity to stay in a place that's been officially recognised with a national historic designation.

These types of hotels in Chelmsford typically retain authentic elements like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These terms are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the physical building and architecture. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Chelmsford have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. In Chelmsford, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
