Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Holiday Inn Southend Airport is often praised for its clean and spacious rooms, some noting nice toiletries. Its location is ideal, being a short 5-minute walk to the airport and near the train station. Many guests enjoyed the fourth-floor panoramic restaurant with views overlooking the airport and city, while some found the placement of items in the rooms a bit odd. Guests with kids appreciate the little touches, such as the free ice cream voucher at check-in.

the location was acceptable, putting me close to what i needed.

I'm annoyed! the room layout was just weird. The kettle was right next to the bathroom. to top it off, the shower wasn't really hot enough. it just seemed like no thought went into the placement of things, and that affected my stay a lot!
