"It was short walk from the train station and like 50 minutes from London. The restaurant in the hotel is pretty good and the bus to colchester city center is pretty good. The hotel was clean and check out was pretty easy as well."

8/10 Good
"Stayed here before so knew what to expect. No frills one night stop over before early flight. Despite being close to major roads & located at services it’s really quiet once you’re in the room. Parking over night just a fiver, absolute bargain. Few minutes drive to all Stansted car parks, so ideal. Would stay again if flying from Stansted."
