Friendly and very helpfully staff. Good quality breakfast. Lift. Size of shoe box, very claustrophobic! Breakfast whilst good, could do with being replenished a bit more frequently. Bed was very uncomfortable.

Being close to the town and beach. Good views from the dining area out to the estury. Relaxed atmosphere throughout. Grand staircase. I felt isolated in room 212, when one night, there was a bit of a commotion from one of the other rooms. I did not know whether I should have checked out my safety with reception. I didn't, but everything was OK. No-one knocked on my door in anger.

To begin with Parking was not easy, on road pot luck parking. We then extremely disappointed when we got to the room, Very small, stuffy, looking out on a roof top with rubbish, strange smell, didn't feel particularly clean, stained cushions and carpet. The bed was in no way a full size double bed, and not only that uncomfortable. TV was not working properly, had to call staff twice, and my husband was spoken to as if he was an idiot! Then there's the tiny bathroom with an even tinier shower..... dreadful! We had one of the worst nights in a hotel that we have ever had, we left by 7am on the Sunday morning, we voiced our concerns as we left, but they seemed to fall on deaf ears, complete disinterest. Awful!

Sea view room clean and spacious good breakfast although the first morning we went down about 9am and most of it was only luke warm although it suited my husband I told the waiter who took it to warm up under grill. The following 2 mornings it was fine, The staff were all helpful and friendly. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant in evening very relaxed and very well presented. The smell of the cleaner used in the bathroom ! also the tray with the tea coffee on was stained alongwith dust on the bedside lights.Just need a little more attention to detail.

Staff very good and helpful. Only roadside parking which was a problem and will only get worse. Our group of 5 had an evening dinner each having a different meal, all meals were very poor and expensive. Would not recommend eating there.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Despite two weddings was quiet and had uninterupted sleep. was made to feel welcome despite the weddings. Will definately consider booking again. Would like to have known about weddings before pre booking evening meal as was unable to get into restuarant till 8pm which was too late as had show booked for that time and had to eat in room.

The hotel was comfortable, clean and interesting. The food was very good, and reasonably priced, as was the well stocked bar. Staff were always helpful.It had an excellent location for both views and proximity to the Westcliff/South-end-on-Sea area. There were restricted parking facilities, which on a nice day, or bank holiday made it difficult to park near to the hotel. This was due to the fact that public parking is available on the road right outside the hotel, and thus no spaces for guests turning up at the 2.00pm check-in time.

Spacious room, free parking, good food. Noisy shouting by other guests during the night in the corridors. Would have preferred to have been placed on a floor without rowdy groups of men.
