I think it could do with an overhaul. Looking a bit shabby.
Lovely reception, welcoming staff, clean , great bed, great bathroom
Poor breakfast service , room a little small
Excellent evening meal good value and very good-including the wine. Bathroom excellent.
Hardly slept due to green Night Light causing powerful reflection on wall-and humming too!
Beautiful clean rooms and spacious
The pillows are very flat and the breakfast waitress was shocking behaviour….. language and rudeness was what I did not expect especially the young girl with the nose ring..

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply. Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian. A deposit may be required at the property.
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
High Street, Colchester.
Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
