Overall a good place for a fun and family stay. Quiet, fun, mini play area, sea close by and other things to do. The spa and pool wasn't working when we visited this week so that meant less fun and not able to use the facilities. Other than that's everyone we Interact with were lovely and friendly.

Reception staff were very helpful but restaurant staff were slow to serve. There were very few customers and after giving us the menu and us waiting half an hour, I had to find a different member of staff to come and take my order. This said the restaurant staff were courteous and friendly.

I booked here as the location was convenient, and there is electric car charging. At check in there is a screen to enter car reg, which is used for both guest parking and if just using the car chargers. The breakfast was good (self serve hot and cold), my double room was spacious and comfortable, and I also used the bar/restaurant in the evening. It was a relaxing stay and I felt recharged. Thanks to all the staff for looking after their guests.

Lovely stay. Gorgeous air-conditioned hotel in crazy UK temperatures! Comfy beds, clean rooms, really quiet - well insulated so no noise from people in corridors or slamming doors, blissful! Good shower. Great pool that didn't require booking or limited slots. Really nice bar and restaurant with excellent service and tasty food. Thank you for our stay - we'll be back.

The staff were so nice, really friendly and helpful. We had evening meal and breakfast and they were both great. The pool was fine, had a nice swim, jacuzzi and steam room. The let down was the room hadn’t been cleaned, there were still balloons in the room and leaves in the bath, half a toilet roll from previous guests. Also we got charged 4 different prices at the bar for drinks and a large Chardonnay was £15.95 for a glass, not a bottle, which we found extortionate…

Room smelled of sick when we got in on feb 8th. Staff couldnt move us as no room so had to stay there for 2 nights. We were not allowed to use the gym - even though we would supervise our children. One of the reasons we booked here was for the facilities but the swimming pool was tiny. We could not get into the jacuzzi as members were always in there. My children are athletes - 1 is in natiobasketball and 1My children are athletes - 1 is in national league basketball and 1 a national gymnast. Me and my husband are both sports coaches and. This

Room was clean. For me the mattress was to hard rock and sofa bed wasn’t very comfy either. The air-con on cool in the changing room at the swimming pool i found it the most annoying as when you get out of the swimming pool you need a warm place to change not a “fridge” to get cool.
But the breakfast was good lots of options and staff was always helpful. Free parking and nice area with playground for kids at the hotel.

Dirty glasses left outside rooms, nail clippings in room. The gap under the door I could drive a car under and heard every single persons conversation until 2am! Let alone the fire risk…

Won’t be staying here again.

The property is rated as a 4-star hotel, but it definitely is not. The pull out bed was dirty and the thin cover was dotted with marks and very unkept. The breakfast was very mediocre. I usually enjoy a buffet but this time I couldn't stomach to finish one plate! I was glad that our stay was only one night as I would not be staying there again.

Good for gluten free

The restaurant was very accommodating especially to my wife who is coeliac. There was only one main on the included dinner menu that was gluten free so they let her choose from the wider menu.

Good separation and labelling of gluten free items at breakfast too.

I am a regular guest of the Holiday Inn, Abbots Lane, Colchester and have always found the hotel both inviting and comfortable. The staff are excellent and always friendly and helpful. I’ve dined in the restaurant on many occasions and the meals have all been excellent with a wide variety of menu choices. I would highly recommend a stay here!

The service provided was excellent, all the staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were clean and tidy and very easy to park. Our room was lovely and clean. The only thing we noticed was that the bar/dining area could do with a little tlc. Other than that overall it was a good hotel and convenient.

Needs to be more organised

All the staff were fantastic. It just seemed very unorganised. When you needed something or ordered something, they weren't ready or got it wrong. For example, Got to the Bar, no staff available to serve. ordered a drink, no pint glasses. Ordered some food, got the order wrong. Needed a receipt, they had to go to reception to get one as they couldn't do it at the bar. Arrived for breakfast, half the stuff had run out.
