Home away from home

I haves stayed here regularly over the last 2yrs on business and the staff have made it feel like a second home. Andra and Yulia are brilliant. I tend not to leave reviews but this hotel is so good that I felt the need to let others know. If you are in Chelmsford overnight make this your go to hotel

Hotel and staff were excellent, room was clean. We stayed here because we were going to watch England ladies cricket team play the West Indies, the hotel was only 4 mins away from the cricket ground by car. My only disappointment was I payed £180 for the night and then they charge you £9 to park your car for the night.
