The place was good enough for purpose, and the security staff very friendly. However they need to sort out the mattresses!!!!! Did not have an inch of sleep felt like I was being stabbed in my ribs. So left very early the second night as was so tired. Parking is also very very difficult around that area. Although you can park overnight in the car park you would not be able to leave at short notice as they lock the car park overnight. So have to park on the road and then be up at 8 to start paying for parking using the RINGO app. It served its purpose as overnight stay.

Oyster Fleet Hotel

GGuest User 2025.04.23

Second time of staying and happy to report no issues. Comfy, clean and large room. A few suggestions to make the stay even better. Upgrade the size of the TV, considering the size of the room, have the window latches looked at as they can pop open, thereby allowing an increase in noise from outside and although very nice, don’t think, for stays of two days, that it necessary to clean the room each day.

We stayed at the hotel for two days, the beds were very comfortable and a good night's sleep, but unfortunately the bathroom was not clean and I would not stay at the hotel for more than two nights. The staff was very nice and helpful, the location was okay

Esplanade Hotel

LLidiia K 2024.09.03

The location of the hotel is fantastic-town centre, in front of the beach, sea view. Parking is alright, at the back yard. Staff is very friendly, nice and helpful, let us in 1 hour prior to official check in time. Soundproofing is good, didn’t hear our neighbours. Breakfast was lavish, fresh and tasty. In this property location sells itself. The building is tired, but luckily maintained. Curtains in the room are crying to be washed, dust is not wiped for days (if not weeks), tv was very stinky and not working, our bed was small and short for two of us (queen size I believe), water pressure in shower was too weak, carpets with all the possible stains, same as sofa, very unpleasant; waited for our breakfast for more than half an hour (though I received my vegetarian breakfast as I requested in my booking), coffee was only instant. I think, one night stay was too pricey for what it has, but overall impression is still rather good. Summary - if you want a good location with easy access to the Clacton city centre and the beach - here you go, just don’t expect a lot

GGuest UserThe room was good- clean, well equipped, + biscuits provided as well as tea and coffee! Can't fault it. Can't comment on the breakfast (included in room price) as its not available at weekends until after 8.30 and I had to be elsewhere by then. From 7.00 in the week. The thing that let the place down was the parking - or more the point , the lack of it. There must be 40 rooms but only space for 4 cars! All the other car parks around and there are plenty, had max 4 hour stay limit signs on display. Rather than risk a parking charge / fine I found some on-road parking 5 mins walk away and hoped the car would be still there in the morning (it was). If you want a chance for the 4 places you'll need to get there early afternoon - its bedlam there in the evening with the other pub and food outlet customers vying for space, well it was on Friday and Saturday evenings.

RRuth KhalineGreat Lodge is close to the airport (58 mins walking or 14 mins by bus). I wanted a place in nature, and I was served : multiple public footpaths and hiking trail (see picture). The room was clean, spacious and warm. Didn't have soap or conditioner as mentioned, but I didn't need them since I had mine. Check-in and check-out were easy (a person was at the front desk). Thank you
