Nice overnight visit after some time away - Harlow

Used to come here regularly in the past. Shops and Restaurants are all within walking distance. Parking is possible nearby too but there was work going on at this time so parked in the multi-storey which is a short walk. Normally a bit cheaper if booked with the hotel directly. Need to pay in the car paek. Not sure if this is the new way forward but not a tragedy. Reception Team were great as before. Friendly and welcoming. Super breakfast with good hot options. Nothing too much trouble here and we will be back over the summer months. Many thanks all.

Had a very pleasant young lady welcome us. Room had everything we needed. Trying to sleep all I could hear was woman shouting "Get off me, get off me. I was concerned until I heard children running around. This went on for quite a while. Bed was comfortable, not so the pillows. Breakfast was tasty, but could have been hotter. Didn't appreciate people coming coming to breakfast in their nightwear, they are NOT at home.

It took me 30 minutes to park due to roadworks which I won't blame the hotel for. The hotel was clean but every time I flushed the toilet it would make VERY audible noise for 10/15 minutes. Bed was comphy and the whole experience was expected except the clearly drugged up woman soliciting herself.
