Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a wonderful view across the estuary from the rooms with excellent balconies, but the draughty sash windows were a small drawback. The service was top-notch, especially from the housekeeping staff. The central location in Southend was convenient, just opposite the fair and a stone's throw from the main shopping area. The dining options were diverse and included tea, coffee, and pizza. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
The hotel has rooms with great views and available refreshments. The location is very close to the main shopping area, making it convenient for shopping enthusiasts. However, there are some issues with draughty windows that affect comfort, and the dining options are limited. Overall, it offers a pleasant stay option.
The hotel offers some sweet extras like a great view across the estuary, twin beds, and a delicious breakfast. However, opening the window could be a slight issue. The location is superb right on the sea front, overlooking gardens. Service, although housekeeping was okay, could be improved. The dining options, with freshly caught fish and tea or coffee, were enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable stay with lovely extras but room for improvement in some areas.
