Poor hotel avoid it
Beyond the reception, bar and restaurant this hotel is awful. The room I had was incredibly tired, I would put this at a poor 2 star rating. Chelmsford is not blessed with hotels but I would never stay here again. Insufficient hot water, no soundproofing between floors or between the room ad corridor (the inch gap below the door doesn’t help that). Every time the room above moved you could hear them. I am sure they will put some response saying some rooms are due for upgrading or some such but the room i had is not fit to be sold. I stay in a lot of hotels and this was the worst i have stayed in for a while.

Central Location, Modern Facilities
Good central location, modern facilities in the room including smart TV. Room quiet even though there was a Christmas party downstairs. Would definitely stay there again if I needed to stay in Chelmsford. Close to railway station so I didn't drive but there is car parking available.

Amazing reception staff!
A very warm welcome from the hotel - reception staff amazing! Hotel room was booked due to dinner/disco event - food fantastic and a great night! Sadly the room itself was a little tired but clean and very comfortable bed. Annoyed at lack of hot water in shower and having to "run" the water for approx 10 mins before tepid...However, the hotel staff noted my issue and agreed to investigate. Very accommodating.
