Room very poor, very dated, stank of cigarettes even though it was a no smoking room, TV didn't work, Bathroom not very clean. There is a club downstairs below the rooms which they don't tell you when you book! Very loud and all sorts coming in and out! Not a family hotel at all. Didn't even bother with breakfast as I just wanted to get the hell out of there! All in all I found it very poor for the money & would certainly not recommend it to anyone. Needs knocking down & starting again!

where to start, on arriving there was no parking spaces left as there is only 4 spaces round the back were to be honest i wouldn't leave my bike there, no lighting or security.i was told that the car park was a short walk away in the police station or asda short stay. check in was pleasant with a little old lady with blonde hair (the only nice staff there from what i saw) but being on the top floor i had trouble with my bags, when asked for assistance the fat ogre behind the bar told me to " do it myself if poss" as he was busy!! he was reading a newspaper on the end of the bar. the room smelt of sick and had tried to be covered by dissenfectant but they must have used 10 bottles cause it was revolting. i was warned about the noise on a friday but be warned it is very load and even when it was turned of at 2am you get all the rowdy kids fighting and smashing glass outside the rooms, some where even running round the hotel. breakfast was a shambles of luke warm beans, burnt bacon and sausage, i wouldnt have given this crap to my dogs!! when i checked out the manager was there and when i tried to talk to him about the unpleasantness of my stay his reply was well dont bother coming back then,then he ushered me out the door, no sense of business. if you need to stay in south woodham ferrers my advice is to sleep in your car and get a breakfast from the local asda.
