Just an overnight stay for self and wife to attend athletics event. On sea-front, set back off road by about 60m, behind Halfway House restaurant with which it shares a large car park. Beware potholes in driveway, easily avoided in daylight. Also parts of the car park flood somewhat if it rains. Watch out for low-lying bits. About 100m from... More

As everyone points out, beware of the potholes ! Having grown up in Leigh on sea I wanted to return to my roots for a look around. There is not much to say about a Premier Inn, its exactly as you would expect. Very clean room, large bed, nice bathroom. There is plenty of free parking and a great pub... More

We flew into Southend Airport and planned to meet relatives and friends before moving on to a wedding the next day. The location of the Premier Inn at Thorpe Bay is great, overlooking the sea, in a nice area. It was quiet, and the staff were superb - friendly and nothing was too much trouble. You know what you are... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice and the last time (April 2013) I noticed that it had become a little dirty and the room smelt badly of cigarette smoke. It was so bad that I woke up in the night due to the smell. The rooms, however, are a good size and the bathrooms are well appointed. It is... More

Good, clean, comfortable, quiet hotel but you pay for the location. There is another Premier Inn on the outskirts of town, nearer the airport, that at the time of my booking, was considerably cheaper.

Stayed here for 1 night, on 20th April. Lovely sized room! Huge queen size bed. Very clean, and hygienic. Very friendly staff. Plenty off parking. Right on sea front. Lovely view! Would highly recommend :)

Our room at this hotel reaked of stale cigarette smoke. The linen, towels, curtains etc.- truly pungent. We opened a window to try and get some fresh air in, and noticed numerous cigarette burn marks on the window sill. We asked to change rooms and the staff facilitated this without fuss. However, had there not been another room available there... More
