Best Western Atlantic Hotel

An expensive place to stay, but the rooms and the service are quite acceptable.
The hotel’s restaurant cannot be recommended except for breakfast-​time.
Even with two broken arms I could serve better Pasta than the so-​called italian restaurant.

Mmmm what can I say here, received this room plus breakfast as a compensation for the awful stay in the best western Colchester. Staff faultless, excellent happy go lucky, polite and efficient. I’ll do this as a bullet points list it’s easier. Room– big, bland, arty farty for the sake ok it, no character, deadly low level coffee table that hurts!, u just don’t see it. Arty lack of doors on the wardrobe (In other words a rail and some shelves), Telly big, but so far away from the bed u will need binoculars. Noisy, doors slam shut, why don’t hotels invest in rubber slams??, u can hear people showering, noisy outside. Breakfast — well cooked, small fried one, one bacon, one sausage, pipette of beans etc but nice (I’m 16 stone I need food). Although i would say it advertises cheese n ham etc and fried as an extra, it seems its either not both, too expensive! Bath n shower– all good. Generally a fine hotel, too expensive, I would say worth £55 a night. With premier lodge being a 7 generally for me I would give this a 5. Ooo plus they put us in the room at the back of the hotel, feels like being put In the store cupboard, hope this wasn’t on purpose!

Avoid this place if you can! Have just eaten in the restaurant, oh dear!
Granted I had fish and chips but for a place that sets itself up as a class apart cooking wise, forget it. Fish wattery, dripping in fat, chips likewise, dare I suggest, everything frozen and chucked in a deep fat frier! Simply awful.
I did raise the point with the staff but, they really couldn’t care less judging by their attitude. Bit like fawlty towers!
Need to find somewhere else here, any suggestions?
