DIRECTIONS: The reception is in the main square area and on maps as 'Event Essex'. To get here, you should park at 'Car Park B' by 'Essex Sport Gym'.
The room is fine and cheap, you should expect this. You can park right outside to unload, then park the car 100m away. The reception was near impossible to find and I had no idea where to park for it. This really needs to be explained before arrival. The phone number provided was closed. The corridor stank so thickly of smoke that I found it hard to breathe and I'm not asthmatic. The food options were minimal, terrible, overpriced, unhealthy and one morning there was a stench of sewage while I ate. However, the staff were friendly, the kitchens good, it is easy to get to and the room was good.
