Breakfast was really nice, loads of choice and tasty. Staff were lovely, polite, professional and well mannered. Room was very nice and spacious, had a good night sleep and good selection of complimentary drinks. My only criticism was my shower wasn't powerfull with heat , the pole holding the shower head came loose and the carpet in my room had a few stains which was off putting, needs sorting out and cleaning properly to remove dark patches.

Basic budget hotel, clean with large rooms and friendly staff. No parking and nearby parking over expensive. Used NCP car park next to station but bit of a walk if you have mobility issues or lots of luggage.

Southend Penguin Waddle and Street Art

Brilliant. Comfy bed. Clean, spacious room. Water and coffee facilities available. Southend was brimming with street artists painting on buildings, Penguin statues scattered about the town and a treasure hunt! Best weekend ever. The Park Inn right on the sea front easiky accessible to all of it. Great fun.
