It's was the worst stay I could of expected in England
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

When I arrived to the hotel I booked and paid before I arrive. It was booked for 2 adults and 1 kid he is 5 years old. On arrival I checked in went to my room and relized he gave me a double room instead of a family room I taught first he made a mistake but sadly he did not. He told me even tho I booked it for 2 adults and 1 kid didn't mean I was entitled to an extra bed for my kid . Receptionist told me that usually if family's come they all stay in one double bed and to provide me with the extra bed he's would have to charge me extra. Unbelievable in 2026 . Very expensive and not worth it I booked the premier inn tonight at less then half the prize and 100% better

Did the job!
Pros:

Good location and quite quiet.

Cons:

Someone banging a door repeatedly in the night. Key didn’t work on first try so had to bring everything back down to redo. Auto service charges on a bar meal.

Fine for a night - would not return
Pros:

Fast check in and out. Accommodating providing a cot.

Cons:

Reality isn’t what is advertised. Lack of free parking. Accessibility to entrance not good for a pram. Building was in need of a deep clean and repair. Water pressure poor. Bed smaller than anticipated. Too much light coming through the blinds at night and in morning. Couldn’t find the sweet spot for the AC - either too hot or too cold. Bathroom was missing a hand towel rail. Strange room layout decisions: Toilet roll holder was on other side of room away from toilet. TV uncomfortably far from the bed. Smelly drain. Missing fire evacuation sign on back of door.

Wonderful hotel and restaurant
Pros:

This is an absolutely lovely hotel. Wonderful owner and team/staff, and a wonderful restaurant (Aurum) attached to it with delicious food. The rooms are extremely nice and clean. And the location is also perfect. Definitely you should stay here when coming anywhere in the Southend area!

Pros:

Nice location

Cons:

Claustrophobic room. On arrival I bought two half pints of soda water and lime cordial and was shocked by the £11.50 charge, I think that's so over priced

Lovely stay - great staff as always. Probably one of the best margaritas in the world!
Pros:

Great room as always, this time an "Estuary View", on the first floor (we have stayed here several times in various rooms - all good) this room, easy access via lift, modern fit stylish fit out and the double glazing, cutting down any external noise. Plus point .. the air-conditioning is super efficient and very up to the job of cooling the room top a constant 19-20 degrees, which was good as it was up in the mid 30s during our stay. Breakfast is really good, as i the daytime / lunch menu, which is available to eat on the ample clean and well looked after terrace at the front of the hotel, the restaurant has bi-fold doors, which are great in the summer, but allow a warm and cosy place to eat in the less clement weather, but maintaining the view out over the water. lovely little bar which is open late to residents.
Access is available to most of hotel via ramps / lifts and electric front doors etc.

Cons:

The only issue, if you arrive by car, is remember to book the on-site parking, there a small dedicated car park, but space is limited- but available in advance. Else there is ample on-street parking out front to right plus a small island of spaces within view out front.. (but at council rates).

Doesn’t match the photos - worn and dated but central location and friendly staff.
Pros:

The hotel is central and some of the rooms (including ours) have an estuary view. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The room was very dusty - you could see thick layers of dust on the surfaces. It looked old and worn and not like the photos at all. The glass shower panel did not stretch far enough across so the water went everywhere and made it very dangerous. The towel rail in the bathroom was rusty and the carpet was very worn in places, and dirty/dusty in corners. We were woken up late at night to a party going on and I believe that was in the hotel. The next day an awful smell from the bin lorry that they allow to back right up against the front of the hotel - the smell was horrendous and we had to close the windows.
