The suite we ha was good. The air conditioning was like an
Asthmatic blowing on you. If you want to have a shower then you have to put ut on at least 15 minutes before you get in it. To get luke warm water. Our room was right above the wedding venue so got not much sleep. The room cost £200 a night and no breakfast included. Not worth the money.

Reception staff very friendly and helpful. When I tried to check in the staff didn’t have my name but only my friends even though I was the one that paid for the room? Bar food was nice enough but quite expensive over £18 for 1 panini, 1 chips, soft drink & a tea! Room was clean and tidy and very quiet but unfortunately didn’t have the best sleep as bed was really uncomfortable, springs coming through the mattress and really lumpy hard pillows also which was a shame! Stayed there as music event was on at the Colchester Park and looked like it was the nearest hotel to it but walking there was a bit tricky as had to go across a main road and through a dodgy alleyway behind an industrial building which wasn’t signposted after the event had to walk the long way around through the town to get back to the hotel.

if you stay at this hotel make sure you stay on the top floor as I was kept awake by the floorboards creaking every time someone in the room above walked on them.
I could also hear someone snoring next door through the very thin walls.
The hotel needs a make over as it is so old & tired looking & bathroom wasn't very clean.
£91 for a single room to be kept awake all night is not what I expected.
The location is good & service given by Chris at breakfast was excellent
