Too expensive and not very warm and welcoming.

Long wait at reception to be told that as i booked through Hotels.com my booking did not confirm a room so i had a choice between a twin or accessible double, this has never happened before when booking a Holiday Inn. Room was expensive to then be charged an additional £10 for 1 nights parking. The desk in my room was higher for wheelchair access but the desk chair was too low which made working difficult and uncomfortable. The shower curtain was discoloured at the bottom and the wetroom looked worn and a bit mouldy.

I stayed at the hotel with my two teenage daughters in a family room. It was really spacious, clean and quiet, even though we had the airport runway right outside our window. It was very reasonable and the staff and service was excellent. When we go back to Southend, we will definitely stay there again.

Hotel, modern and clean. Our room had a dirty towel which was unfortunate as the rest of the room was clean. Aircon was good and room was quiet. I think its digusting that you have to pay to park, especially when you already are paying to stay in the hotel and the car park for the retail park next door is free for 4 hours.
