Holiday Inn Colchester by IHG
It was a lovely hotel. Lovely facilities to use. We had a wonderful stay as a family. The only issue that there was no lift.

St Nicholas Hotel
The hotel itself (hallways) is a bit like a travelodge but the room we stayed in, 911, was really clean and the bed was really comfy. It was quite warm though so not sure what it would be like in summer.
