Extremely small single room and toilet facilities.

My recent stay at the County Hotel was disappointing due to the room allocated to me upon arrival, the room was not in the main building but in a new block at the back of the hotel facing the car park, the room was clean etc; but the space and layout of the room was very small and electrical layout very poor and needs better planning, I probably will not return back again due to my experience this time.

I have stayed here many times. Thus time i was put in what the hotel call the cottages. No they are not cottages. Tgey back onto the main busy road into chelmsford. It was like sleeping on the M25. Worst night sleep ive had in a long time . The hotel now charge £9 to park at tge hotel for patrons and a £20 deposit for the room Key in the Cottage rooms . Check in was rather chaotic but that was because it was Friday night and staff were training . Would never want to stay in the "Cottages" part of hotel located at end of car park which is noisy and backs onto main road again it was awful . Prefer to sty in main part of hotel .
