Nice friendly staff and excellent breakfast with loads of choice even activa yogurt, my favorite..
United KingdomVery clean, comfortable accommodation with friendly, helpful staff. Close to the Cliffs Pavillion, which was the reason for our stay. There are also a few good restaurants closeby. Mr Bojangles, close to the Pavilion, has great food... Would definitely recommend this small, family run hotel, & would stay here again if in the area in the future.

United States of AmericaLocation was good also sea view from our Room 21. Friendly Staff, Good Breakfast
United KingdomAltough we had to checkout before breakfast time, staff prepared breakfast for us and it was very good.
MaltaVery friendly employees and guests. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is beautifully decorated for the festive season. The en-suite bathroom in Room 11 is new and very clean. The room itself needs an upgrade but is well equipped with fridge, TV, coffee and tea making facilities, space heater and the bed is comfortable and I slept soundly. I arrived by air at Southend Airport and was glad I booked this hotel as no trains were running into central London on 26 December ( a holiday in the UK).
United States of AmericaRooms were very comfortable, facilities very good, would stay here again
