5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17Tth September 2015 on Tripadvisor
I booked this hotel to stay after an event at the Cliff’s Pavillion and as a result of surrounding hotels being much pricier, I went for this one! I am so glad I did – it was amazing. We didn’t have very high expectations but we were so happy with our choice/stay.
With regards to the location of the hotel, it was less than a 5 minute walk (or drunken stumble) from the Cliff’s and only a little further away from the casino and pleasure beach.
The host of the hotel – I think his name was Ben – was brilliant. Helpful. friendly and entertaining.
Our room was very very impressive. My boyfriend and I had booked a double and we were greeted by what seemed like a suite. A double bed, single bed, bay window with seats and a very impressive large layout.
We decided to eat at the hotel before the show given the cheap pricing and offer of food. The food choice was basic but was delicious – to top it off, the bar was really cheap too!
Breakfast was brilliant – unlimited hot breakfast buffet as well as free flowing juice, tea and coffee to compliment the cold choices of food. I have told everybody about this hotel so I really hope they choose to stay here over other more obvious choices when visiting Southend.
