Efficient friendly staff, although hotel a bit tired, and old fashioned furniture in room reasonable value for one night only. Breakfast ok, but warm and dry bacon not much fresh choice, or choice of breads or cereals.

I booked this hotel very late and managed to get an executive room for a reasonable price. It is worth paying the small difference in price for a good room. I stay in rooms over looking the main car park which are modern and reasonably large. Having said this, some rooms are tired with minor decorations needed. The rooms are... More

When i first arrived at the hotel it looked more like a trailer park. The receptionist struggled to speak English and the service overall i recieved from her was very poor. To add to the stay, we woke up the next day with a loud noise on our door. I then opened it to see what the fuss was and... More

Stayed here just overnight whilst visiting friends in Epping. Walking distance from Epping village. Clean newly refurbished rooms. Offered a free upgrade which was very welcome. Checked in late after day with family and room service available which was very welcome with no rip off prices. Would definitely stay again next time in Epping. Can't recommend this place enough if... More

More of a Motel than a Hotel. Rooms the normal standard box but clean and generally well appointed. Staff pleasant but service rather lax. Breakfast not particularly good. Situated on a busy road but rooms very quiet.

We arranged to meet a wedding party who were staying here before travelling on to the wedding venue. On arrival one of the party told us that their stay had been poor, with a cold room, poor service and poor quality food. We ordered some drinks at the bar, which took nearly 20 minutes to arrive. A large order you... More

The location is great for North London and then getting into Essex if needed. Pleasant surroundings of Epping Forest, and only 10 minutes from the M25. The reception, bar and restaurant area are pleasant enough, with comfy seating and TV's available for viewing the football in the bar area. I ate in the bar area and the food was good... More

Having read the reviews I was a little concerned about booking to stay here but it was the most convenient location for the plans we had for this weekend and others near to this weren't cheap enough in comparison to the additional fuel we would use staying another few miles away. We have been pleasantly surprised and will not hesitate... More
