The hotel rooms felt a little tired and basic with stains on the carpet, but they had a lovely view of the lake. The service was a mix of unwelcoming and helpful, with an overall ambition to ensure everyone felt welcome. The location was convenient for accessing various places in Basildon, close to entertainment amenities but with mixed opinions about the city. Dining experiences were pleasant, especially with thoughtful staff, but service times could get busy. The facilities offered were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were clean but a bit noisy due to outside disturbances, the service was a mix of standoffish encounters but also highlighted by an exceptional receptionist. The location was convenient overall, but noise from outside can be disruptive. Dining was decent, although timing and service could be improved. Facilities were standard.

The hotel had some positives like a convenient location for the leisure park and great assistance from the friendly staff. However, the room condition was a bit worn out and the dining experience fell short with cold food.
