Room was fine. Bar and restaurant service were very slow. Food not very good especially for the price- but had worse. Staff were friendly enough. Staying here is fine but would recommend eating elsewhere. more

Good business hotel, with facilities that are a notch up from a travel inn. Large flat screen TV in room, useful trouser press and bathroom goodies. Bed comfortable. tea and bicuit tray. Clean room, bathroom a bit on the small size. FREE WIFI, although they do not advertise this, which is surprising. Bar/ restaurant on site with reasonably priced meals,... more

Stayed here for 1 night - November 12th 2007 for a business conference. I arrived at 11:30hrs and they let me check in to my room early, which is always a bonus !

I stayed one night only, checking in late and checking out very early, so I can only base this on my room.

It was cheap (I booked through Laterooms) and close to Colchester, but... more

I stayed for 3 nights and I paid with my credit card. Unfortunately they charge me three times with the same cost. I think the reception has to be more careful we that. more

I booked this hotel purely on the basis of seeing rave reviews on here, and the fact that it's currently no.1 in the ratings for Colchester. After reading such glowing praise, I was a little disappointed by what I found upon arrival at the hotel. The room had the usual facilities you'd expect in a chain motel - small tv,... more

Easy to find and good access to Colchester town. Restaurant serves food with some taste, over-priced. Bed clean, room dusty, bathroom small. Service awful Went to room, after long journey to find it stank of cigarette smoke. Was moved to smoking room, but somehow they had me listed as a man wanting a smoking room (instead of woman wanting non-smoking... more

An excellent stay for a great price. Staff were extremely courteous, friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make you feel welcome. Rooms were very clean, comfortable beds, quiet and well equipped. Great location, reasonable food and prices. Obviously a business hotel, but quiet and pleasant for leisure travel too. more
