We stayed here before and have always been really happy. This time the food in the restaurant was doughy batter on fish for our fish and chips. We raised this with staff and was told they would speak to chef. We had to pay full price and no apology so didn't bother eating in restaurant again. The hotel is well placed, excellent rooms, lovely staff, just the one bad meal.

Disappointing!

What was intended to be a sacred celebration of our anniversary was repeatedly disrespected and diminished by the hotel’s service failures and an undeniable atmosphere of exclusion. Specifically: • At check-in, we were incorrectly told our room was paid for — a careless mistake only corrected after I insisted on a second verification. • Our confirmed room booking was questioned and mishandled, causing unnecessary confusion. • Dietary requests were ignored — dairy milk was served after a clear request for almond milk, disregarding health and personal boundaries. • There were repeated micro aggressions and visible discrimination based on both race and sexuality, creating an environment that felt neither safe nor welcoming. . A room attendant opening the door before knocking. • Attempts to order room service were discouraged, adding to a growing sense of being unwanted. • Our room was not cleaned despite requesting service while we were out. • Basic amenities such as the refrigerator were broken and unresolved. This series of disrespectful actions and oversights made it abundantly clear that inclusivity and guest care are not practiced values at Holiday Inn Southend — they are merely advertised ones. It is unacceptable that in 2025, paying guests should have to experience discrimination, gaslighting, and neglect. We deserved better. The establishment failed not only to meet the basic standards of hospitality but failed to honour the dignity of your guests.
