Staff friendly, room spacious and clean, bar area very nice. Breakfast although a good selection was poor. I asked for 1 poached egg on a toasted muffin first one was more like a hard boiled egg so sent this back, second one not much better.

Overbooked and turned away
Arrived for a late evening check in to be told that due to an 'IT Glitch' they were overbooked and had no rooms available.
Several other guests were in the same boat.
Reception were unhelpful and shrugged it off as not their problem - despite people being stranded in Hornchurch with no local hotels available.

The member of staff on the front desk was very rude and not at all helpful. Overall the hotel was fairly clean and perfect for us to stay after watching a gig close by. Breakfast was not great, overpriced for the quality.

Good location for those taking exams at the Romford center, however beds we extremely uncomfortable! Size of rooms were good though compared the prison cell like rooms at the spark Hilton. Another plus was the parking was free too.

Under renovation- but very clean hotel
The hotel itself is still under renovation, but the room was clean and well put together. The room did not have any aircon or fan, and we visited when it was very warm and the rooms were so hot. Restaurant not open yet and there is nothing around that is walkable to get food.

Utterly appalling customer experience
I had an appalling experience at this hotel. On arrival at 10 p.m., I was told the systems were down and my booking couldn’t be honoured. The staff were dismissive and unhelpful, offering nothing beyond, “the computer is down, we cannot give you a room.” By the time I managed to log on to a computer at 10.30, every nearby hotel was fully booked. With zero assistance from the hotel, I was forced to secure alternative accommodation at more than double the original cost and a 30-minute drive away. To make matters worse, the hotel has still failed to issue a refund. An utterly unacceptable way to treat paying guests.

They were not able to get a key card for the rooms. So they had to keep letting me into my room . There's was only one person at reception. But had only one person at reception, who was very busy.

Mixed. And charged for breakfast when free.
Rooms are decent and refurbished. Communal areas grubby. Charged for 2 breakfasts when the reservation said it was free. We'll see if they refund. Signage around hotel for 2nd floor rooms wasn't clear. Decent breakfast. Rooms were extremely hot and with no fans or a.c

Absolutely Terrible!!!!!
You need to take this hotel off your website. Its awful! Firstly, the area it is in is not nice. I felt unsafe the moment I arrived and I made sure I parked my car as close to the entrance as possible. The room stunk of weed! There was a guest screaming and shouting in one of the rooms next to mine. The bed sheets and pillow were dirty. The decor in the reception area and the restaurant is very very ugly. The restaurant was badly managed. My Wagu burger, although tasty was dripping with blood. The service for breakfast was awful. I wanted some granola for breakfast only to be told the had ran out of milk!!! What hotels run out of milk?? The staff looked stressed especially at breakfast. I left without having any breakfast that I had paid for. Without doubt the the worst hotel I've ever stayed in! Honestly, take this off your website your customers deserve better!

Wouldnt book again
When we arrived we were given a different room to the one we had booked, we were advised that hotels.com had uploaded the incorrect pictures and we only had a standard room. We asked if we could upgrade and were told all the rooms were the same and none were available. The room was small, and after 30 minutes our TV stopped working and we could get no wifi. We complained to another member of staff who said she would upgrade us, which was unexpected as we were told earlier all rooms were the same and no other rooms were available, we were then told that we were given the wrong room. We moved upstairs and the room was alot bigger but the air con did not work. We were given a fan, but didnt have a good nights sleep as the curtains were far too small to fit the whole window and were not black out. We booked for 2 nights but only stayed one. Wouldnt return

No WiFi on the room and I booked premium room. Breakfast not until 7.30 which is late when being out for work. When open for breakfast started to clean coffee machine which took about 10 min. Could have been done before opening hours?

The worst breakfast ever!
The hotel rooms are very nice, clean... Newly refurbished.
Breakfast is the worst I have ever encountered!!.. No coffee, they had run out of beans for the machine. No coffee or tea on the second morning. Only 2 fresh juices, once empty were not refilled. No fresh fruit, no yogurt, no pastries, no variety of milks for cereals. No jams, or honey or marmalade for toast... Only butter or marmite. Cooked breakfast took 45 minutes as there was only one chef... Tables were not cleared. Glasses for juice ran out. Only one young man taking orders and serving and fielding complaints.... Non of this was his fault.... He tried to contact his managers who didn't return his calls... In the end people were turned away from the restaurant even if they had paid for breakfast as the remaining chef had left the kitchen. A refund will be persued by the four of us that spent 2 nights there!!

Suppose to have a garden view and we had an extension to look at three foots away from the room. Someone at 3.20am was on their phone shouting loudly until 6.30am - not nice getting woken up in the early hours of the morning. Our complaint was suppose to be investigated and they were getting back to us - still waiting nearly a week later.

This was definitely the worst stay ever at a hotel. On the 1st night, we got a huge smell of cannabis being smoked in one of the adjacent rooms on the 1st floor. On the 2nd night we were kept awake by the guests staying in the room next door.
I rang the Hotel Reception and he came up and pleaded with them to keep the noise down. This went on from 11:30 - 3am! The worrying thing was that the Hotel Staff member said that it was the neighbour next door who complained. At this point, my wife was deeply upset and worried what would happen next!
As for parking, it was shocking in that the car park was filled with vans all parked in a haphazard manner. Surely common sense and anyone with a sense of decency will park appropriately. This was flagged with the Hotel Reception and his advice was to park in a dark spill out area.
This is clearly a hotel that attracts a certain type of guest.
