Hotels With Wi-Fi in Essex, United Kingdom

We stopped at this Hotel on 17th September 2022 The Hotel is well placed in a good location, from the hotel there is a transfer bus to the airport every 30-minutes cost £4.00 per person payable on the bus. We booked the hotel through Holiday Extras and the cost included 7-days parking at the hotel, the car parks were large and secure, and you keep the car keys, we had no problems finding a parking space. The room we had was clean and spacious and we could not fault. We ate in the Hotel's Restaurant, the food and drinks were reasonably priced, and our waiter Dimitar was very polite and attenuative. If flying from Stanstead Airport again I would choose this hotel

Close enough to the airport - I walked there in about 35 minutes - although there is very little pavement for pedestrians. Friendly check in and good sized room. Dinner and bar options (open til 10 pm) and good early breakfast with croissants, yoghurt, fruit, coffee machine etc Shuttle bus an affordable £5 (even tho it's less than 2 miles) Efficient and reasonably-prices for a pre or post-flight stay.

What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend started off as very stressful indeed as neither of the receptionists knew what the parking rules were so despite having downloaded the parking app before we left home, on arrival, when we queried why we could only pay until 6pm we were told there was an error on the app but not to worry, if we got a ticket we could claim a refund as a member of staff had done recently. After an hour of driving around trying to find where we could park, even asking a traffic warden who was only on 'transmit mode' and kept repeating it was the hotel we needed to speak to and they must have given us an incorrect code, we parked up outside the hotel where we'd first parked and paid for the parking to 6pm despite being told by the hotel it was to 9pm and as there was a show on at the Cliffs there would be traffic wardens about. We weren't offered the option to book breakfast on check in and so decided having read the mixed reviews to not bother and would go out the next day and get something in Southend. The triple room we booked was very comfortable and once we'd put the heating on, soon warmed up. There were plenty of amenities in the room - the only thing missing were glasses - but there were coffee mugs. The location is perfect for The Cliffs Theatre and there are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. The whole experience though could have been much better and less stressful if we'd been given correct information on the parking. At 6pm we got a reminder our parking was due to run out and we then booked the next 24 hours. Fortunately we didn't listen to the receptionist who told us we didn't need to worry about parking until 11am the next day. There was a wedding fayre on at the weekend - let's hope anyone booking a wedding there ensures their guests come by train or they get better information on the parking than we did - otherwise they could miss the wedding whilst driving around trying to find where / how to park!!

This hotel is adequate enough and our room on level 1 was a good size. In nicer weather a lovely outdoors space with good view can be utilised. The restaurant in this hotel is very nice and worth a visit. The music in the restaurant for breakfast was much more the vibe I would expect with a boutique hotel (chill out Ibiza). The music the night before in the bar area was questionable (boy George) and not aligned to the following morning. The one irritation with this hotel is the fact they do not make you aware (our receptionist) did not anyway! About the parking in front of the hotel not being Free on a Sunday. On arrival we were not lucky enough find a space in the hotels carpark so parked opposite the hotel entrance. Once we checked in we asked if parking was free at the front. The receptionist confirmed it was not free so we downloaded the app and paid ( she did not make this information known on arrival). The receptionist did not then explain parking was also required for the Sunday. We were issued a fine at 08:20 Sunday morning. After paying the fine I spoke to the hotel to give my recommendation that all hotel guests should be made fully aware of parking rules. The receptionist I spoke with said she always tells people and I just confirmed that our receptionist did not. When I left on the Sunday with my fine I counted how many other cars also had a ticket. The number was 10. I do not believe this hotel is doing its best to inform guests which leaves a question mark for me. I personally won’t be returning as I feel other hotels in Southend area have the edge and the fine has left a bit of a negative experience that could have easily been avoided.

My go to place when I have an early flight from Stansted! The rooms are spacious, clean and the bed is so comfy. Breakfast is included and offer an amazing variety. The dining options are good and tasty. Some unusual lighter options are also very good.

Lovely hotel with good space (family room). 2 minute walk to the airport.Everything was clean and first impressions of the hotel was impressive. Good value as booked through booking.com. Would definitely stay again.

The room size is okay but the air conditioner is too noisy, which affects your rest a bit. The breakfast was not bad, not to mention rich. There were many people drinking in the lobby bar at night. The parking lot in front of the hotel was very large. There was a very good local British restaurant about 15 minutes' walk around. The steak pie was very delicious. There was one about 15 minutes' walk behind the hotel. The takeaway fish and chips is pretty good, a portion of fish and chips seems to be about 12 pounds, which is quite large.

Absolutely wonderful hotel all round. The room and balcony exceeded my expectations, and really pleased me, and my standards are very high and I submitted some specific requests. Top floor, room 904, advised now this one and 910 very popular. Both the room and balcony a really nice size too. Lovely facilities. Nice view of Colchester castle etc. Nice communal areas. The George hotel communal areas are wonderful too and lovely breakfast, great choice, beautifully cooked, and I requested to sit elsewhere as so many beautiful options, and for me generally and as need my own space, and peace as much as possible, and am still very aware re.COVID-19, I eventually arranged to sit in the lovely courtyard. Too busy and noisy for me in the main restaurant. Exemplary staff. I also really liked the fact that you could switch the bathroom ventilator off, otherwise it comes on when you put the light on. Of course one should always switch it on when using the shower and keep it on briefly afterwards. My first Surya experience. Sublime.

We hadn't planned to stay here but I had booked us in at the Stansted Holiday Inn Express on the wrong night so Chrissy at Stansted kindly found us a room for the night at Braintree as we had a early flight the next day. The staff on check in who also cooked and served our food and drink were absolutely brilliant. This hotel seems to have been left behind a bit with any refit as it is very tired and dated however the amazing staff made up for it hence the 4 stars. We'd tried the Toby carvery but they weren't taking walkins probably due to being so busy so we headed back to the hotel to see what they could rustle up for us. Although the menu was extremely limited as quite a lot of items were unavailable (not sure why?) We had spicy wings and soup to start so tasty and wonderfully presented. Followed by a shared toastie and then 2 fab puddings. Full bellies and v.happy thankyou. We were up and about before breakfast but the chap said he would happily let us have a take away coffee and any cold items to take with us as they were complimentary anyway. Overall a good stay.

Great hotel with a lot of history to it, and as such a very nice place to stay at. Friendly and approachable staff. Unfortunately, I had booked two rooms without adequate facilities; one room did not have hot water and the other had a malfunctioning shower. Could have been bad luck, and I suspect the hotel management to be able to fix this issue.
