"Superb friendly service"

"Air con didn’t work so room cold I did get a radiator which helped other than that it was suffice "

"Nice food at the hotel. Relaxing room. "

"Excellent dog friendly hotel. The hotel is next to a busy road so highly recommend booking a lakeside room which are much quieter, large and have a good view. Whilst the hotel is quite tired, for the price we paid and service we received, it represents good value. Meals in the bar well priced too. "

"This is now my go to for Colchester area, great place to stay"

"The staff were so nice, really friendly and helpful. We had evening meal and breakfast and they were both great. The pool was fine, had a nice swim, jacuzzi and steam room. The let down was the room hadn’t been cleaned, there were still balloons in the room and leaves in the bath, half a toilet roll from previous guests. Also we got charged 4 different prices at the bar for drinks and a large Chardonnay was £15.95 for a glass, not a bottle, which we found extortionate…"

"Staff were courteous and super helpful and efficient. The Indian restaurant was superb. The hotel cleanliness left a bit to be desired in terms of the exterior which wasn’t swept, with cigarette butts all around and rubbish not picked up. I changed rooms because the one I was given was not clean. It could be so nice with just a few details taken care of."

"Stayed two nights for work. The chair in the room might as well have been a concrete block, which when you're working away isn't a nice way to sit and relax in the evening. The taps in the sink and shower were stiff and almost uncontrollable for flow and temperature. The carpet was dirty and very tired, the towels were like sandpaper, and there were only two sockets, one of which was so loose it would certainly not pass a decent electrical inspection. To top it all off the staff on reception that I spoke were both pretty miserable and unhelpful, and wouldn't give me a VAT invoice for my stay. They said it was because I booked through Hotels.com, but every other hotel I've stayed at have been able to. I'm away a minimum of 100 nights a year too, so I know hotels! The room was cheap, but even then, it wasn't good value for money. I certainly won't stay again! Plenty of better places in the area for similar prices. Avoid this one if you can!"
