Book a hotel near Essex Steam Train, Essex

"Very clean bare-bones hotel in a quiet location. Large rooms. Nice breakfast place across the road and a short drive to more services and stores. Helpful staff. Only criticism -- and it's an important one -- is that there were no friction strips or other kind of safety on the bathtub, so it was unexpectedly slippery."

"Easy check-in. Good breakfast."

"This place is awful!!! The electricity worked sometimes…. The room was barely passable clean, there was an electrical outlet that had wires exposed. Someone punched a hole in the wall of our bathroom. I’m pretty sure the women at the desk was drunk. I went to the desk to ask for towels there was none in our room the women at the desk popped up about 5 minutes later and told me she would bring towels in less then 10 minutes she never showed up… there where also multiple cigarette burns on the the blankets in a “non smoking room” the surrounding area is nice."

"Incredible staff"

"It could use an upgrade for the Breakfast menu."

"I'll start off with the positives: - The greeter, who I presume was the owner, was kind and allowed me to start my check-in early (with a fee, but that was to be expected). - The property, despite having the layout of a motel, looked very nice. And the moment I stepped into my room, it felt I was in a high-class hotel. - Most (not all, but I'll get to that in the negatives) amenities were provided. - The price, compared to what else I was finding in the area, was relatively inexpensive. And now for the negatives: - A very minor one, but tissues would be a nice amenity to have had in the room. - The location is close to the highway. Probably great for finding business from weary travelers, but unideal for morning-sleepers like I. - The chairs in the room, though looking nice, felt cheaply made. I heard the one I sat at cracking as I sat, and I feared it might break underneath me."
