Very silent and good environment! Besides, it is close to University of Essex where my daughter’s graduation ceremony was located. The staff are nice and helpful. The food of restaurant is yummy and the prices are reasonable.

As I had a graduation ceremony, this hotel was perfect because it had a great location. Just a few minutes walking to the campus of the University of Essex. The room was spotless and very comfortable, so I had a nice sleep.
