Having failed to book a last minute weekend away on line I resorted to the old fashioned use of the telephone. This turned out to be a bonus the receptionist Thomaz not only matched the online booking price he also assisted me with additional items and suggestions.On arrival at the hotel the greeting from Thomaz (does he ever get time...

very nice & helpfull reception lady - efficient check in - largish clean room - but poor pillows and small bathroom. some how a wake up all came through at 6.00 am (on saturday) - presumably left by previous resident and not wiped from the system. quiet corridors and room. breakfast not very good.

Stopped her two nights with my mother over the mother's day weekend and couldn't fault. Lovely large room, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Parking can be a nuisance but try Alexandra St. Just through the shopping centre and to left as although you have to pay during the day it is free at night (after 6 I think) so... More

Stayed here on business a few times and it's always been a pleasure. Being moments away from the seafront (although there isn't much of the sea itself, but that's not hotel's problem) is an added bonus. Located in the heart of town centre so everything is on a walk away. There is no parking in the hotel itself but there... More

I stayed here on business at the end of May 2013 and also used their conference facilities. The hotel has good views, though not all the rooms overlook the sea. It has to be said some of the decor and furnishings in the rooms are now looking a little tired but the room was quite large and well appointed.The room was clean,... More

Old Victorian hotel overlooking the seafront and amusement park has been given a modern makeover. This was successful in the public areas and in the "business-friendly" room we had, which was spacious and modern, with a small balcony and seafront views across to Kent. Don't know about other rooms. Breakfast was also generally good, though scrambled egg was worst I've... More

So the Park Inn in Southend - very nice. My husband and I took a trip to Southend and did not think about staying overnight until it became later and later and I did not want to travel back to London so late. The concierge was nice, although I had to ask twice for toothbrushes and they never came. (Third... More

We had a three night stay in April and were fortunate with the weather. The rooms are comfortable, though we had a view of the shopping centre and car-park at the rear of the hotel, it was quiet. You may wish to pay a little more for a sea-view if you spend much time in your room. Check-in was slow... More

I was staying at the hotel for 17 days from start of May. The room was nice and tidy and the view from the balcony was superb. Looking down on the Amusement Park and the Pier. The location is 2 minutes walk to the High Street and the Beach. The staff were very friendly and I felt recognized after only... More
