" recently moved put of the area but still need to come to office so have been staying at the Holiday Inn one night a week , find the whole experience really good,it has everything I need and the staff are very welcoming."

"Staff were lovely."

"Amazing wonderful stay in Colchester once again. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times before. On the plus side we were given a free upgrade to a wonderful room with the balcony. Hotel is part of the George Hotel which I strongly recommend for a Sunday lunch. All staff at hotel were amazing "

"Great location for work "

"The room was very large. Lots of space and the bed was comfortable. Needed some extra pillows. Quiet. Good price and well placed for accessing Southend shopping and theatres. The carpets in the room could do with being replaced as many stains."

"Lovely place very clean. Nice room room with fridge for n room. Comfy bed. Bit small for a double. You have to pay £50 deposit on room. Get it back by 2pm. After room been cleaned. "

"It was our second stay at The Holiday Inn Hotel in Southend and it was excellent. Easy check in, all staff were friendly and excellent service. The room was a very good size and was spotlessly clean, lovely bathroom with fabulous smelling toiletries. Everything you would need was in the room including a safe. The breakfast was excellent so much choice. Easy parking at the hotel cost £10.00 a night. I highly recommend this hotel."

"At first I couldn’t find a way out to road. No sign ‘Exit’ enable me to drive out easily especially when it was dark. It was almost impossible to close the blind in bathroom. I couldn’t dare to stand in bath naked in front of window where residents or staff could see me. I just managed to reach blind cord using my finger tips as the the cord was 2/3rd way up the window in Room 5. Short people, like my partner, couldn’t reach it at all unless he climbed onto window sill - no way as he was 85 years old. Blind should be left diwn at our arrival. Bathroom apart from blind was good but poor designed and not good for safety as there was no grab handle in bath area. My partner again couldn’t use bath/shower as due to his age he has poor balance. I found it uncomfortable to use the shower as my face had to be close to wall at bath end because the shower head was too short to wall so I was unable to relax under the shower due to curved bath end. Apart from these problems our stay was enjoyable. Staff were so lovely with very good attitude to Deaf people like us. We enjoyed the stay. "
