"Hayden on the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were very clean. The air con is a nice touch. Parking very near by at a reasonable price. The mattresses are quite hard, some may find it uncomfortable. The mattresses also have dips where couples normally lay. But got a great night's sleep. Lots of plugs for charging phones, watches etc. Would recommend."

"This hotel has a great location just outside Colchester in the University Campus. Lovely staff - very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast, but limited dinner options for the vegetarian /vegans. Our room in the old part of the hotel was nicely decorated but had an odd layout and an uncomfortable bed. I was told the new wing of the hotel is better. Notwithstanding that, it was a good stay and great value for money."
