I had a wonderful stay at the Chelmsford City Centre Hotel. The room was spotless and well-equipped, though I wished I could have opened a window for some fresh air. The staff was helpful overall, but I did encounter a bit of a snag when arranging for a taxi, which was a minor frustration. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious food that made my stay even better.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, and the location was perfect for my needs—just a short walk to the town center and easily accessible from the railway station. The room was clean and comfortable, but I wished there had been a fridge. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome, even anticipating my needs. However, my dining experience at the hotel restaurant could use improvement, particularly regarding the speed of service.

I stayed at this hotel and while I found the location to be exceptionally convenient, the overall experience was quite underwhelming. The room itself was clean and decently comfortable, but there were several issues with the facilities and service. Additionally, the dining offerings were pleasant, but not extraordinary. Overall, I expected more given the higher price point.
