Couldn’t fault this property, spotlessly clean, well positioned for the Cliffs Pavilion. The staff were excellent, very welcoming and flexible, providing a meal outside of dining hours to meet our needs. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

The room we stayed in (3) seemed brand new. It was large with a comfortable bed and excellent walk in shower. We also discovered that they did evening meals, which were good value for money, tasty and filling. The male staff we met were very efficient without being over friendly, whilst our breakfast server, female, was both.

Very happy. It did what it said on the tin. A little old fashioned.... which was right nice!! Local to The Cliffs for a show. Early check-in was very welcomed alone with parking, so able to go off, have a walk, a drink & enjoy the show.

weekend break

The hotel was extremely friendly, all staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Our only negative relates to breakfast where we felt the quality of some of the cooked items could have been better, i.e.sausages, beans and hash browns. Overall we would recommend the hotel and would return if we were to stay in the Southend area again.

Lovely stay

Lovely stay; recently refurbished room and sparkling clean en-suite. Made good use of the fan provided, during a warm night. Only suggestion is to offer fruit, yogurt and perhaps croissants for breakfast as not everyone likes a full English. However, our breakfast was well cooked and delicious. Had good advice and help with parking, as we arrived, which was much appreciated as parking is tight.

Probably the best older property we've stayed in on any English coast. Didn't realise there was a bar and restaurant until we got there so missed out on that in the evening but breakfast was great! Amenities in the room were super. Iron, hairdryer, fridge, tea/coffee, fluffy towels, most importantly clean and a comfy bed. There is even a small car park, which we haven't always found in smaller hotels, so nightmare seaside parking wasn't even an issue. Will be staying here again (and the wife agrees).

Room was double booked, so we had to have 2 rooms of which one was not en suite & had to share a toilet. My room was very cold & windows rattled all night, room 2 was very small. Staff were very friendly & helpful but whole hotel seems very dated
