County Hotel ★★★★

📍 The County Hotel, 29 Rainsford Rd, Chelmsford

"Stayed here for a wedding in a nearby town. The hotel check in was really easy. As I was staying in the annex which isn't attached to the property I had to pay a small deposit for my room key. I was able to pay in cash for this but aside from this the hotel is card only. The room was clean and a decent size and the shower was excellent. I was traveling to London the next day for work and it's very easy to get to the train station."

Chelmsford City Centre ★★★
"Frequent stayer - everything you expect from a Premier Inn. Located moments away from the train station, it is ideally placed for a stay in central Chelmsford. No parking onsite except for disabled however there is a local multi-storey just behind the train station at £11 for circa 24 hour period, Onsite bar/restaurant that serves evening meals and buffet breakfast. Staff are always attentive and helpful with rooms being comfortable and usual Premier Inn standard."

Premier Inn Chelmsford (Boreham) ★★★
"We dont usually stay in hotels unless abroad, but thought we'd treat ourselves to a rest before driving home after visiting family. The location itself was nice, welcoming and clean. The staff that greeted us was very polite and explained all that we needed to know and where breakfast would be located and alloted us a time. Then the room, it was very clean and tidy and given the usual walk through with the kids and got the thumbs up of approval from our 3 year old who then shortly got into bed. The bathroom was nice and clean, and the bath filled very quickly and with hot water which was welcoming, however came time to sleep ourselves, my wife to her nature fell asleep in an instant I however could not sleep, the room was hot and the room temperature control kept turning itself off, causing the room to go from a nice temperature to a sauna within minutes. However my main issue was the bed, it felt like I was sleeping on a worse version of my nans bed in the 90s where you could feel every single spring! But the bed was also extremely firm which didnt make sense to me, after literally hours of tossing and turning i finally gave in at 2am and decided the floor was my next option, I slept on the floor. In a hotel that brands itself on Lennie Henry's wonderful nights sleep. To then be woken at 6am by son joyfully rested and myself struggling with 3-4 hours of broken sleep. This was not the experience I expected, nor an experience I would happily pay for again. In the morning my wife thought it was funny that I fell out of bed, however explained that was not the case. She complained about her back aching which through my tired eyes was asked to inspect her, she had a small bruise on her ribs on her back, which after explaining my early morning antics we checked her side of the bed and Lowe and behold turns out the princess can infact not feel a pea. Joking aside, this was an awful night that I have paid for. I dont think ill be doing it again."

Best Western Atlantic Hotel ★★★
"Now housing unknown illegal migrants for profit. This will endanger the local community. This hotel has breached customers trust by dishonestly claiming it has closed for refurbishment."

The Oakland Hotel ★★
"The room was good- clean, well equipped, + biscuits provided as well as tea and coffee! Can't fault it. Can't comment on the breakfast (included in room price) as its not available at weekends until after 8.30 and I had to be elsewhere by then. From 7.00 in the week. The thing that let the place down was the parking - or more the point , the lack of it. There must be 40 rooms but only space for 4 cars! All the other car parks around and there are plenty, had max 4 hour stay limit signs on display. Rather than risk a parking charge / fine I found some on-road parking 5 mins walk away and hoped the car would be still there in the morning (it was). If you want a chance for the 4 places you'll need to get there early afternoon - its bedlam there in the evening with the other pub and food outlet customers vying for space, well it was on Friday and Saturday evenings."
