Depden Hotels

"A nice modern hotel which is well located"

"The hotel is ideal situated for the town centre & High St & having its private parking is a real bonus."

"A great old hotel / pub with links to the TV show Dad's Army. The old part is atmosphric while the new part is comfy and modern. Great location in centre of town overlooking the river."

"I had a pleasant stay. All the staff were helpful. My room and bathroom were clean. I enjoyed the breakfast. Good value hotel."

"Run away from the "KIng William" room 109 and Expedia. The shower controls were not working. The on/off control was not working so as you turned it, it went from off to trickle to off and anywhere in between. The hot cold went from cold to maybe warm, to off to trickle. What the heck. The second night I was allowed to go to room 106 so that I could take a better shower... newer controls but no hot water at all. On to room 105 with a working shower. If we had booked the place ourselves, we could have had a refund and left. We felt like we had no option to leave because there was no one to talk to at Expedia. the walls in 109 were also paper thin. We could hear the people next door as if they were in the room with us even though they were using a conversational volume. We even knew when they blew their nose. The second morning we left without even eating our "free" breakfast ~ that's how badly I wanted to get the heck out of there. I do have to say, though, the staff did what they could and were very friendly. I will never book thru Expedia again."

"The hotel parking is dubious (at least it will be until my parking charge gets sorted). What made the parking charge worse is that we left the hotel for food and so were charged - fined - twice for parking...That's £200 until it gets resolved. I wouldn't mind so much, but we registered and parked as directed by the staff - I'm assuming its some registration glitch. Tell you what...when it gets sorted i'll change my review - but until then i'd either avoid this place or be absolutely crystal clear about being registered for parking!"

"Slow service Housekeeping took priority over breakfast orders"

"Beautiful place and super helpful front desk staff. Charles was very helpful "

"I’ve stayed at The Essex Golf & Country Club several times before and have always had a pleasant experience, which is why this visit was so disappointing. Unfortunately, the room did not meet the usual standards I’ve come to expect. The bed hadn’t been made properly, which immediately gave a poor first impression, and the bath drain was extremely slow, making it frustrating to use. It’s a shame because I’ve enjoyed my previous stays here, but this time the lack of attention to detail really let things down. I hope this was just a one-off, as I would like to return in the future, but improvements definitely need to be made to maintain the quality guests expect"
