Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways, offering a great stay despite a few minor hiccups. The rooms were lovely, and the staff was incredibly warm and helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, though the facilities were top-notch. The value for the price paid was reasonable overall.
The hotel offers nice modern rooms with big bathrooms, some even with a slanted ceiling like a loft. The service is top-notch, with every staff member being delightful and helpful. The location is great, especially for those looking to explore the Thurrock area or visit nearby shopping areas. The dining experience includes homemade biscuits, adding a personal touch to your stay.
The hotel boasts a great location near Lakeside and close to shops. While everything disappointed me slightly, the proximity to shops is convenient. The service offered should be ashamed of, but the staff at Best Western provided first-class customer service with delightful and helpful staff members.
