The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay for a family of four in a great location with lots of options for food nearby. Breakfast and pub dinner were superb and very good quality. Thank you for a great stay."
"Specifically booked this hotel because of the heat and the website stating air conditioning in every room. Air conditioning did not work, reported to front desk but they said they couldn't do anything and it was probably because everyone had it on. 26° inside, really bad nights sleep. Don't advertise something you aren't going to make adequate provision for."
"The bar upstairs overlooks the airport and is a brilliant view. It's walking distance from the airport and easy to get to. Check in was fast and easy. We had a wheelchair user with us and was easy to get her around and to/from the rooms. The bed was comfy. Didn't have breakfast there. Shops nearby too."
"Ground floor deluxe double room next to the car park. Delivery vans and cars made it a very noisy room from an early hour.
Spa and gym were nicely maintained and fully kitted out."
