Esplanade Hotel  

staff were freindly and helpfull made to feel at a home . a very gracious host always there to talk about any subject you wish to discuss and wont hesitate in useing his hotel again.

the bed could have been a bit more stable and less sqeaky during the night had the habit of wakeing you up . but other than that [great]

We stay here every year as we have family in Clacton. It's an excellent location and has a car park. Rooms are clean, tidy and comfortable and perfect if you just want to stay for one or two days. Breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious. Waitress very pleasant and helpful.

Bathroom was very cold and the toilet paper could be better quality. Biscuits with the hot drinks would be a nice touch. Hotel hairdryer's safety testing was very out of date. We did report this. (We usually stay in August so the cold bathroom has not been such a problem.) NB Hotel is under new ownership (just taken over) and was starting to be redecorated. Was informed that the bathrooms would be replaced. I told him of the above!

Very nice warm welcome and friendly owner / staff

Carpets could be replaced sometime - but no worries - it had charme

The staff were very friendly and helpful, carrying bags for us. The evening meal was superb - well cooked and beautifully presented.

It is a little tired looking. Car park is very small and the access to it was through a small door at the back.

As we were only staying 2nights and there was a slip up with our rooms,we were moved to the room we payed for on the secondnight, it was all done without any bother to us. But our bill was more than quoted on internet.

The Hotel states that they have parking, but it was very limited we were never able to park, however were able to park opposite hotel in the road.

The staff were so welcoming and positive, and the hotel itself was quite lovely, and in a perfect location. I loved it, cannot speak too highly of it, and will most certainly return.

Nothing.. This is a run down shabby hotel in need of a full refit ...the honeymoon suite we booked with yourselves should not be advertised as this..it is a box standard sea view room..we have travelled extensivly around the world and we have stayed in better rooms in third world countries..

The staff were very helpful with a little problem we had and dealt with it promtly great breakfast nice spot no complaints

Nice Location, Nice sea view. Nice to have a bar in the hotel. Good value for a 2 star.

Didn't like the way I was nearly forced to give up my car keys to use the car park, didn't bother the following night.

clean friendly hotel right on the seafront. sea view room had a very good sea view.

the strange way of serving breakfast and carvery,you told them what you wanted and they put it on the plate. i am used to a buffet that you would help yourself.I suppose they serve that way so that people had smaller servings. the breakfast was cooked very well , whereas the carvery meat was cooked well but getting only half a slice of pork and the same of turkey was extreamly mean.also the roast potatoes was not roasted at all.

Location

In the evening on the sunday 28th august 2011, we watched the fire work display. Then went in the bar for a drink me and my partner felt we were in the way, with the gentleman serving behind the bar.

Position,cleanliness & personal service.We will re book.
