Hotel needs updating and don't leave money in roo
Posted 7 Dec 2021 on HotelsI book this hotel for the location, as my friend lives a 10 minute walk away, l got there and was given my card door key, and was greated pleasantly, I went to my room on the 2nd floor, the room was dated, but ok as I would not be in there that long, l got myself ready for the evening, and I decided I would only take Bank card out with me, I left my wallet in one of the drawers, and then went out for the night I returned at 4 a.m. in the morning and went to sleep I woke up at 10 and got myself ready, I left the hotel at 10:50 just before check out, I gave the key he card to reception I left the hotel, when I got home I realised that I had left my wallet in the drawer so I called the hotel & ask them to look for me, I got a reply back saying there was no wallet left, so I've had to to cancel my credit cards, I was told if it turns up or is found they would get in touch with me I received a voicemail message saying that the wallet was found just outside the front of the hotel by one of the cleaners, also was told that I must have dropped it this was not the case because I never took it out with me.

The room was cold, the curtains were a poor fit. The kettle was covered with lime scale so unable to use.
The furniture was in poor condition stool had paint on the seat ,missing door handle on wardrobe.

It was such a lovely room for such a good price, room was quite hot even with heating off but other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Check in was at the partner hotel next door, friendly enough chap on reception.
I was travelling as a solo female so it was a little intimidating to have the entrance door blocked by a man smoking on a couple of occasions. Perhaps a designated smoking area would have been good.
The room was clean and tidy, bathroom cupboard sized but clean. Furnishings very dated. The bulbs were too dim in the room and bathroom, impossible to out make up on properly and the full length mirror was hung over the dressing table so you couldn't see your bottom half! This room was definitely decorated by men!
Although described as 24hr reception, I left at 7am and there was no-one to leave my key pass with, hopefully someone found it in the foyer!
I woukd probably not stay again but that was more about me feeling vulnerable on my own.
Overall , value fir money in an ideal location for colchester town centre or the railway station
