Second stay at this hotel.
This was the second time I have stayed at this hotel. The hotel is pet friendly, which was why I booked it. I did feel that the surcharge of £30 was a bit high, but then you do get a comprehensive goody bag for your pet.
The reception staff were fantastic once again, providing a silky smooth check in.
My only gripe is the £10 parking fee. I feel that if you are staying at the hotel this should be wavered.
Will definitely stay here again.

Brilliant hotel
Lovely hotel, room was a nice size. There was a mini fridge in the particular room type I selected which was nice.
The hand soap and body wash that they provided smelt amazing and the bed was very comfortable.

"Exceptional Stay with Stunning Views and Outstand
"We had an exceptional one-night stay at the Holiday Inn Southend. The room was incredibly comfortable, and the reception team genuinely cared about our comfort, even giving us a courtesy call shortly after check-in to ensure everything was perfect. The views of the airport were breathtaking, especially during breakfast on the 5th floor – a truly unique experience. I can't wait to return! A big thank you to the Holiday Inn team for making our stay so memorable."
