3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

A good quality hotel in an out-of-town location. We just spent the night there before moving on; the location is less than ideal if you want to visit Colchester as a tourist. The room was quiet and comfortable, with good bed, linen and bathroom. Heating/airconditioning was good. We did not try the food.

We stayed with family on our way to a family reunion. We had had trouble booking online as a family room only accepts 3 online but if you phone the hotel direct they are very helpful and sorted out our room requirements. Rooms are a fair size, clean and comfortable. Whilst we were there there appeared to be several events... More

Hotel is everything you would expect from a holiday inn, we upgraded to a premium room which was really nice with a mini bar however the food and drinks were at london prices and for the location of the hotel not in keeping with what was available elsewhere.

To be honest when I picked the Holiday Inn to stay in over night with work I wasn't expecting much. However I was pleasantly surprised! Situated in a lovely little village just off the A12, I got a warm welcome from the reception staff who were really lovely and smiley which was great. They explained everything as I hadn't stayed...

Room - Upgraded to an executive room which was very nicely laid out. My only niggle would be the shower head in the bathroom which when you tried to twist to alter the head type just squirted water up towards the ceiling. Room Service/Restaurant - Cannot comment as I did not avail myself of this facility. Location - Nice and... More
