awful place. single room out of rising damp. porn under the bed. takes shabby chic to a new level. never ever again. dirty horrible run down area. would have loved to have seen westcliff in a better light but bedsit land now and further decline like cobham lodge inevitable.

I had read the reviews and thought this could be a mixed bag. I stayed in the room with the Sea View (shame it was a miserable November morning), and yes it is a quirky room. Fabulous to have a TV area with a sofa and a view, the decor was ok, the bathroom was odd but totally functional and... More

The cost was £70 for twin room with ensuite. Check in was very efficient, all detail was accurate and the receptionist friendly and polite. The room was dated, workmanship and fixtures shabby, but all appeared clean and every thing worked. Hotel bar had nothing on draught so cans were the only option which was slightly disappointing. Breakfast was enjoyable, I... More

Room old dated and dingy. balcony room resembeled a bad dss b&b

The chobham Lodge is one of those rare gems that screams tradition at you all day long.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was well catered for in rooms and room service was prompt. Our hosts pride themselves on delivering... More

We have stayed here several times, it's close to the sea front and town, nice walk into Southend along the seafront. The Hotel has a homely feel to it,rooms are of a good size with plenty of hot water, breakfast is cooked to order in the morning and is served hot and fresh, eggs are done to perfection. The Hotel...

My job takes me all over the country, staying in hotels payed for by my employer. The choice of where i stay is completely down to me, if i wanted to stay in a £200 a night hotel this would not be a probelm. i can honestly say that i have never met people in the Hotel business that continually...
