The room was larger than average, pleasantly furnished (albeit in a "standard" manner) and spotlessly clean. I had a good workout in the well-equipped hotel gym - there is also a small heated...

I travel regularly for business and I am not usually so impressed as to write a review on the hotels I stay in. The staff at this hotel were very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The lounge area was pleasant and the breakfasts were buffet but good choices. Location good too. All round a very... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Colchester the night before we left on a cruise, which was departing from Harwich International Port. Colchester is about 30 minutes from Harwich, and travelers can commute by train or car. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were warmly greeted at the front desk and offered complimentary wine or juice. The desk clerk assisted... More

Despite the fact that it is owned by a chain, the warm welcome and friendly staff give it the feel of an independent hotel. Dee was our greeter, very pleasant and friendly. We arrived early and enjoyed a snack for lunch whilst the rooms were being prepared. Fantastic swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. Great view from the room of... More
