Holiday Inn Southend by IHG

Holiday Inn Southend by IHG

6/10 Okay
"Lovely hotel, very helpful staff. We booked a disabled room for my husband and it had a wet room, which was lethal!. Once wet there was no way of getting the water off the floor and no- one could use the bathroom until housekeeping had been in to sort it. We used the towels available but it wasn’t enough. The toilet smelt when we arrived and I wonder if the disabled rooms are used less often than other rooms. We reported the toilet and it was dealt with swiftly but still smelt . The hotel was perfect for parking close to the airport but very expensive."
