I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a block away from the stunning cliff top gardens, and a short walk to the vibrant town center and beach. The rooms felt like cozy little bedsits, equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly friendly and attentive throughout my visit. Dining was a delightful experience, with a wide selection of delicious options available. The only drawback was the limited free parking hours, but overall, this hotel provided a wonderful experience.

The hotel is conveniently located one block back from the cliff top gardens, making it a good spot for a weekend break or for those planning activities in the area. While it's a bit far from the seafront, it's very close to the beach, perfect for the next visit to Southend.

Rooms

The room, including the shower, was clean and comfortable, but there were a few issues like a completely rusted radiator in the bathroom and a broken window in the back bedroom that wouldn't close.

The location is good for a short walk into town and down to the beach below, though it might be a bit far for immediate access to the seafront. However, being close to the theater and the beach makes it convenient for various activities.

Dining

It's best to come down early or late for freshly prepared meals; the dining experience was wonderful and friendly, cooked to perfection. However, the lack of enough tables for breakfast was disappointing.

The hotel provides basic facilities and services, but some improvements could enhance the overall guest experience. Overall, for the price, it offers reasonable value for money.
