Our room was spotless , a comfy bed and a good shower , the pool+ hot room area were really good, but for reference there are 3 (members only) aqua aerobics classes a week which use the whole pool , and whose participants’warm up’ prior to the class -so it’s very busy to the class , there are a great selection of (pre bootable )classes , treatments and a well equipped gym (all obviously open to members ) , the meal options are delicious, and the staff are charming
We booked a compact double at an extremely good price so the room was small as expected but it had everything we needed.
The breakfasts were excellent and i loved that they served til 10am. I loved the vibrant quirky look of the public areas. Our room overlooked the estuary and was at the end of the corridor. Lovely and warm and relatively quiet
My only gripe were the loud fan in the ensuite and the inability to have a softer night light. The nascerator toilet was also very loud .
For the money we were delughted with the service , location and amrnities
The hotel is in a great location on the cliffs above the sea front. Everything was very clean and staff friendly and polite. We particularly liked the outside terrace area at the front of the hotel. We arrived by train and it is about a 15 minute walk from the station. Didn't eat at the hotel so cannot comment on food.
Would certainly stay here again if we are ever in Southend on Sea.
The check in went okay at the George Hotel across the road. Hotel is conveniently located. Room was a decent size and clean. Bathroom with a shower was excellent. Wifi was bad indeed.
Great Lodge is close to the airport (58 mins walking or 14 mins by bus). I wanted a place in nature, and I was served : multiple public footpaths and hiking trail (see picture).
The room was clean, spacious and warm. Didn't have soap or conditioner as mentioned, but I didn't need them since I had mine.
Check-in and check-out were easy (a person was at the front desk).
Thank you
The hotel location is good, nearby the retail park. And around 10mins drive to the seafront.
But the hotel room too small compare with the other area outside London. We booked the airport view, but the window also too small. So not really enjoy with the view. The hotel is old, but the staff are very friendly and helpful. Not too many facilities in the hotel.
By the way, we are really enjoyed our trip in Holiday Inn. If we come to Southend on sea we will come again.
BBernsterVery quiet area you could swarm an apocalypse had happened
If you require medication put in the fridge ask the female receptionist the male is nasty and just outright refused
Breakfast is good and restaurant attached to hotel is good
Also Manager of restaurant is great
Not far from station 10 minute walk with tunnel under road
SSamuelThe hotel staff were very nice and kind. Upon arrival we had a lot of bags and the staff made sure we got a room on ground floor and there was a trolley to move our items at once.
We were indoors all the time so cleaning staff left our room to give us privacy. Next morning we requested to have our room cleaned and in 5 mins there was someone there to clean. So efficient!!
ゲゲストGood on value for money. peaceful location and environment, comfortable stay, helpful staff. Found a spider and a few insects in the washroom, they can definitely do better with cleanliness. asked housekeeping for a general room clean up while I was out and they emptied the bins and all but beds were not made. I left my Apple Watch accidentally in the room and when I came back it was still there . So good honest staff.
