Stayed for one night while visiting Chelmsford Races. Loved the lady who checked us in. So friendly & accommodating! Room was not bad. Beds were comfy. But cleaners missed dirty tissues and a confetti box from previous booking. Also pillowcases on one bed smelt of aftershave.

For being close to an A road, was lovely and quiet and the curtains in the room really made the room dark when sleeping. Wasn’t the normal constant banging of other hotel doors shutting all night either, nice and quiet
