Clacton-on-Sea (North/Colchester Road) hotel

Upon arrival the receptionist is very friendly and great you with a nice smile and a warm welcome. I needed an extra towel for my hair and she happily went and got me one, upon arriving in the room as there in no apt committing, they had a fan on cooling the room. The next day my husband had a slight situation and Sarah was very kind and helpful. Staff are just so nice. The hotel itself, it is in need of a refurbish. The rooms are sufficient for what you need, but……. The sand walls are drab, and the bath should be changed so it can be cleaned properly? We were in room 60 and it overlooks a field and a car park. There is a very bright light just outside the window, and therefore you cannot keep your window open, as the moths fly in! Then early in the morning loads of crows wake you because of the field opposite. And a coach driver at 6 in the morning, because he is parked under your window has his engine running and talking with his door open was frustrating. You order your breakfast from the pub next door, and whilst the food is good, and the staff are nice, the place looks like it could do with a good scrub. Terrible seating area if you had a drink in the afternoon on arrival, and they don’t clean the tables when you leave, they just take the glasses. The whole pub could do with a complete revamp.

Truly wonderful premier Inn at Weeley Clacton. Manager Sarah and staff were truly amazingly helpful and extremely professionally welcoming kind and caring. You can clearly see that Sarah has trained her staff to the above and beyond standards. We felt welcomed and valued as a guest upon every visit. Rooms are spacious , very clean and beds are comfy with crisp clean bed linen. Would most definitely recommend this Above and beyond Premier Inn. Thank you so much Sarah and your amazing team for making our stay a truly welcoming one. We commend you Employee of the year award. See you again soon. Heather & Brian.

Have been there before but not up to standard this time Shower taps not working properly Toilet flush not working properly Fan provided inadequate power Did not raise at the time as only stayed one night. Room furthest away from reception and possibly being used as room of last resort. After leaving discovered about 16 bites on my shoulder which could only have come from the bed or mosquitoes in the room as widow open due to the heat.

Avoid in the summer months. The good bits: free parking, garage and electric charging onsite. Bad bits: pub/dining shuts before 10pm. Bathroom stunk of urine. Beds were like cardboard and rooms were all +26 degrees… no air conditioning, and the windows only open a free inches.

Currently staying at the premier inn in Clacton. It's 1:30am in the morning and neither myself or my 2 childeren aged 8 and 10 have had a wink of sleep. The air temperature outside is 18 degrees but in our room it is 28 degrees. There are loud guests next across the hallway, showing the low standard of the sound proofing. Cannot open our window for tge thousands of mosquitoes. I have been to see the staff on the front desk who inform me that the heat and the noise is a common problem here, and there is nothing they can do about the heat apart from put me in touch with the complaints department. Hugely regret booking our stay here.
