Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We were given 4 beds having booked as 6 people. Also I assumed to be given interconnecting rooms but I wasn’t given that. I was told at the reception that I had to book that in advance which I didn’t know. Overall I wasn’t happy with the stay. The breakfast buffet was basic. There was no option for non pork sausages/ bacon. There was no hot milk. No hot porridge. The beds were comfortable but linen was dirty, had dirty marks on them. The duvets felt strange like they were smaller than the beds sheets. Overall not worth the price. Not family friendly suitable for couples maybe

Great overnight stay and convenient for Colchester

Fantastic proce for sunh a good quality hotel. We stayed one night because we were going to a concert in Colchester. We jumped on the train at Marks Tey, maybe 10 mins walk, and were there super quick. Very convenient. The room was really nicely furnished and clean, with some nice little touches you dont get with Premier Inn. Breakast was buffet, and perfectly fine with hot and cold choices. Parking was £8/day. Really pleased with our choice.

Dog Barking ruined our stay

The hotel was lovely and clean. Our stay was ruined by a dog barking all morning! We had a night away from the kids first time in years - we expected a nice lay in but was woken at 7:30am by a dog continuously barking in the room opposite - it was still barking at 10:30am when we left.

The staff were very friendly, especially the redhead who works in the restaurant, such a nice girl. The bedroom could’ve been cleaned better in some areas, but the bedding was clean so that was the most important part for me. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay and recommend the diner across the road for a decent meal out.

Environment over customer satisfaction

The hotel did not inform me that it is their policy to not service your room when checking in. The first day my room wasn’t serviced I thought they had just forgotten so left it. The second day my room wasnt serviced I called reception and was told that they don’t even make your bed unless you request it. Wholly disappointed by what would have been a nice stay. They said it was for environmental purposes but it looked as though they were being cheap with employing cleaning staff to me.
