"The hotel was very surprisingly pleasantly decorated and stylish inside and out not feeling like you were in Southend so don’t let the positioning fool you excellent walking distance from theatre hence reason for staying there staff were very friendly and helpful the sea view was a sea view and not just a glimpse , restaurant food was very good and tasty . However fancied a late night snack called room service which took forever to arrive. Can’t be perfect but definitely worth staying there"
