Fantastic stay!
Me and my son stayed here for three nights as we were visiting family in Colchester. It was very easy to check in over the road at The George and check out was easy too just leave your cards in the box before leaving. Our room was very clean and comfortable and certainly had everything we needed for our stay. We didn't book breakfast so I cannot comment on the food but I'm sure it would have been fantastic like everything else. I will definitely be staying here again when I come to visit my son and his family again. Would highly recommend.

Good but only after a night out
The hotel is in a good location and the staff at check in/out were great. The room was a good size but the TV came on on it's own and the smoke alarm (right above the bed) had a flashing light all night. That coupled with the noise from the pub opposite didn't result in a great nights sleep. Would be fine for a hotel after a night out in Colchester but not for a relaxing break

overall a good stay
The room was nice and big, with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom, had a nice shower. My only gripe would be the amount of sound from outside. It is on a high street, but the noise reduction from the windows seemed poor. So i would not want to stay here on a Friday, Saturday night. The desk is also directly below the TV, so limited space to set up a laptop to work from.

Ok but
The room was very warm, despite altering the thermostat and opening the balcony door and window, the room temperature never dropped below 24c, the corridors were ridiculously hot. General cleanliness was ok, however there was a turd in toilet and the room showed signs of wear and tear. I would not stay there again.

Parking NOT free
Comfortable bed, clean room and good shower however, It was not made clear prior to the booking that parking had to be paid for at the rate of £9.50 per 24 hour!! In addition, there was not on street parking as the local had suspended all bays near the hotel.
