I stayed here for the night to attend a conference at the Essex tech school. The location was perfect for where I needed to be in the morning- just 1 mile away. Reasonable price, easy friendly check in process. Rooms are a lttle run down and need some attention, cosmetic stuff. But relatively clean. Bed was pretty comfortable, shower had good water pressure and shampoo conditioner and soap in dispensers on the tub wall. TV worked well. I had a virtual meeting that night and wifi was good. Some other guests around me were up late (after midnight) and making noise, which wasn't ideal as it sounded like they were right outside my room. I think they had some breakfast items and coffee for free in the am, which I didn't take advantage of because there was breakfast at the conference. Grounds seemed pretty well kept. OK place to stay, and I was happy not to deal with traffic getting to conference that morning from where I live.
