Southend on sea air show meant that all our normal hotels and boutique guest houses were full for the one night we needed. As a consequence it was almost impossible to find a room at all and also totally impossible to park because the hotel uses the Royal shopping car park only. Having said that we parked away from the... More

We stayed at the Park Inn end of March for a weekend and were lucky to get a good rate and a room with a view. The location of the hotel is very good: in the centre, very close to the pier. But a hotel cannot build on location only and I have to highlight Tomasz Lipski who checked us... More

We stayed here on 2 separate bookings. First day we arrived at 10.30am straight off the plane from Southend-on-Sea airport, we ask to check-in. A surly receptionist told us to come back at 3.00pm. They did store our luggage. Came back around 1.30pm and still told to come back at 3.00pm. I find the most of the staff, not very... More

We stayed at the hotel last weekend for a comedy club that was being hosted there. Booked a room well in advance and the cheapest rate was just under £90 without breakfast. The room was quite large but very basic, overlooking a car park. The shower didnt work properly and the bathroom frankly needed some updating. The toilet was impossible... More

We decided to stay in this hotel after getting a 'Groupon' deal. We stayed for 2 nights with bed and breakfast and a three course dinner included in the price. We paid extra for an upgrade so we could have a sea-view, it was money well spent. Lovely big room complete with balcony. Had a nice view of the pier... More

We have stayed in this hotel on two occasions - December 2011 and March 2012. We didn't book directly with the hotel because we were able to get it at a more competitive price through other websites. Check in on arrival on both occasions was smooth and reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. On our first visit in December... More

Stayed one night on business the room was large simple and clean just what you want. Plenty of hot water and a nice bathroom and the rooms have air conditioning which was needed as the night was muggy outside. One good thing the windows open so you can also get some fresh air. Check in was quick and efficient and... More

Been there, tried it, never again. This is a hotel that makes Basil Fawlty look great. Breakfast was awful. No one seems to want to to do even simple things like serve coffee, the croissant are hard, scrambled eggs come in lumps and beans congealed. The staff if you can find them say they never get complaints and are defensive... More
