Premier Inn Chelmsford - Springfield

2.0 star property
4.0 out of 10, (1)
"Arrived at 2.10pm (50 minutes early) and despite the room being ready I was advised I couldn’t check in until 3pm unless I paid £15. For 50 minutes that’s ridiculous. Bed was great but room even with window closed was very noisy. Fan in the shower is poor. Around the tv was exceptionally dusty and the fan provider was filthy, we had to scrub it clean. The kettle was full of water and limescale."
