We stayed here over the recent bank holiday weekend in May. To say we wish we hadnt is an understatement. We booked the hotel through the internet after deciding for a day out on the coast with our son. We chose the park inn due to its location, being opposite adventure island and the pier. Even before arriving we had... More

I had a one night stay on a weekend in this fantastically placed hotel only 3mins walk from Southend Central rail station. The staff I encountered were all friendly, the location is directly across from the world famous pier, and a minute’s walk from the High Street. For a grand old seaside hotel the interior has been well maintained. There... More

We stayed at this hotel over the may bank holiday weekend and had a really good deal paying £50 per night. Our room was on the 4th floor facing the car park, I would have preferred a sea view but it was fairly quiet at the back. The room had everything we needed, it looked a little shabby with marks...

Highs - Reception courteous and professional, sea view lovely, room itself clean and very comfortable. Internet connection excellent and tv/lighting/decor all good, although furniture somewhat minimalist.

Step out the shower in the tiny bathroom straight onto the door... More

Just walking distance from Southend central. I was with my wife and kid + luggage so dont want to walk much for the same... More

We didn't stay for breakfast here so can't comment, but walked along the coast and had it in a place called... More

We arrived around 5pm, but had wait at reception while 'Photo-Shoot' chaps were having an altercation with one of the staff about not having anyone in full uniform that day or the next,He was enquiring if they wanted people to come there, that's when it started to go downhill, we had a very polite receptionist but she said room wasn't...

Upon check-in, the gentleman behind the desk was abrupt and curt in his manner, not giving me time to answer his questions before repeating the question in a forthright tone. He then proceeded to tell us our room was not ready, (we arrived at 5pm!) and that we needed to take a seat. When our room was ready, it turned... More
