Brendan D. Solo - 7/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Not in room much but did stay overnight and have breakfast. Staff were pleasant enough, check in and check out straightforward. Did have to pay £10 which for an out of centre car park which is excessive, even compared to other chains. Breakfast was okay, the bases covered. Room had some niggles with shower and toilet, but clean and well stocked. Might just be that room, rather than a trend. WiFi was free and worked. Location good for motorway rather than Harlow centre, I needed to get to Epping so this worked well for me. Would stay again, if price competitive, but I could hear Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson complain at breakfast about accessibility issues so that's something to look out for if relevant and I came with others.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found our team welcoming, the room clean, and our location convenient for your travels. We also appreciate your comments regarding the parking charge, bathroom maintenance, recycling guidance, and accessibility.

Julie L. Families - 6/30/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is very tired with many areas needing to be updated. There are no water glasses or bottles in the rooms and when I asked for some I was charged £5.20 for 2 small bottles. On top of paying £10 to park. I asked for Air conditioning as my daughter is 7 months pregnant and its very warm. I was told there wasn't any, but they found a room at the very back of the hotel for us that did have some, but it was such a long way to walk! The staff were pleasant and breakfast was lovely.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the condition of the hotel, the room amenities, and your experience with the air conditioning and additional charges.

Robert M. Couples - 6/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Although the hotel looks a little shabby in places it is very convenient for a stop over when travelling north and it is dog friendly which is essential for me. The room and bed were comfortable, although I couldn’t get the air conditioning to work, there was no bottled water or glasses. There was however a water dispenser in reception. Reception staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was excellent.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed our convenient location, comfortable room, friendly reception team, and excellent breakfast. We also appreciate your comments regarding the air conditioning, room presentation, and the absence of bottled water and glasses, and we will take these on board as we continue to improve our guest experience. We hope to welcome you and your dog back again soon.

Melody/micheal J. Couples - 6/22/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Second stay at this hotel. Staff very accommodating.Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Our particular room this time (155) was spacious. The bathroom door would not close and the extractor fan was not working. Neither of which impacted on our stay but worth a mention. The only thing we found annoying was not enough choice of milk (not all customers drink whole milk in their tea/coffee). The sugar sachets were also sparse, one was an empty sachet. Overall an excellent hotel for short stays. Breakfast very good.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us again and for sharing your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, comfortable rooms, breakfast, and the service provided by our team. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bathroom maintenance issues and breakfast amenities, which have been shared with the relevant teams for review. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay in the future.
