The nature of my job means that I travel around the country and stay in lots of hotels for much of the week and this hotel is one of the best I've stayed in. The rooms are clean and practical with the added touches of a coffee machine and toiletries. The staff are amongst the best I've experienced and the breakfast is amazing. I met Ben Mehanny, General Manager who explained that they also have a hotel in Bournemouth, which I have already booked for a trip in June. I've chosen this over the Hilton, where I normally stay in Bournemouth. less

Very pleased to have free car parking with the hotel and on arrival found our room to be spacious, clean and well stocked with tea, coffee etc. Our only complaint was from others staying in the hotel partying all through the evening! Having brought this to the attention of the manager an apology and the offer of a free room at either Chelmsford or Colchester accepted. less

Ample free onsite parking. Check in was quick and the room was a good size. My room was overlooking the car park and my window didn't shut properly so was quite noisy in the morning. I ate in the restaurant both nights I was here and I really enjoyed the food on both occasions. So overall I'd say the hotel is average although the restaurant is above average. less

This is just what you'd expect for Best Western. Large rooms, reasonable sized bathroom. Temperature control was good and we had a window for fresh air. Very economical. We received an AAA rate. Friendly and helpful staff. They kindly provide complimentary bottled water in your room and ice from the bar. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the train station. No fridges in room. Ice had to be retrieved from the bar downstairs. Single beds are quite tiny. Chelmsford is a great town. I would highly recommend this location if you are looking for a hotel outside of London. The town centre is quaint and very walkable with magnificent shopping and a great mall. Many coffee places were available for our walk to the train station every morning to explore London. Cost for a 7-day train pass to reach the London underground was about 95 pounds. less
