Had to wait 10 mins to check in as no staff were available. No towels in room assured they would be provided but still had to ask for them again at 22:30 when we got back to our room. Went down for breakfast at 9:00am, no staff. Waited until 9:10 only to be told that by the cleaner there were no staff again. Already paid for breakfast. NOT HAPPY!

Quayside charm

The location is super, right on the quay. The building is very old and charming. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is great, the menu is super, with lots of fish. The chef made special orders for breakfast. The quay and town have a great choice of alternative eating. The bathroom was good. The air conditioning worked very well, for heating as well as cooling. There are paid car parks a short walk away. Traffic is very quiet, out of season. There is a parking bay for an hour's free parking to unload. Accessibility in the building is poor. Corridors are narrow and low, and the stairway is steep and uneven, accessed through the kitchen. The bedroom needed maintenance - the bed moved while sitting up, because the headboard was loose. There was no hot water in the sink. The toilet macerator was noisy. The pub has no parking, and the local free parking fills up. The quay has early deliveries in large trucks. Despite the fame of Maldon oysters, we didn't find any anywhere!

Liked: Staff & service
When we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly although booking in system a bit chaotic and we did not receive all information about servicing rooms on daily basis. Ran out of towels, clean crockery, coffees and no hand wash in bathrooms. Bathrooms not very clean and floors decidedly grubby. A real shame as perfect location and very nice staff, maybe management issue! Rod and Sue
