The Dorrington in Braintree

The bar manager is a wetty. He was very rude and barred my friend for no good reason

Where do I start. Well, we walked into a very dingy bar, where 4 people were drinking, talking very loudly and spitting out beer onto the floor. The floor was really dirty. We were then taken to our room, where the entrance was filthy with daddy long legs in all corners. The door of our room wasn't very secure. It had a big gap down it, the drawers in the room were broken, and there was mould on the bathroom ceiling and tiles. The windows were also filthy. There was one rail to hang clothes. 2 good points were that the guy who took us to our room was very polite. Also he bedding was very clean. We stayed about 20 minutes and then just left! I wouldn't recommend this place.

Nice Hotel, Nice and clean, but showers were cold, and nowhere to hang clothes, even a basic clothes rail would make a massive difference.

All good ,apart from shower ,tje head barely let the water out ,to be honest they probably don't even know ,it only needs leaving in vinegar overnight, its will be like new,i left early so didn't get a chance to tell them,sorry landlord, who was very welcoming

We had a family room which was located upstairs. Room was clean but no stair gate stopping the kids falling down them??? Also trip hazard going into the bathroom as the tiles are higher then the carpet and no rubber to stop you stubbing your toes. There is a TV but shocking signal so no point having it on Also only one side unit next to adult bed which was annoying and no side light on kids side of bedroom. It was ok - bed was VERY soft which made us roll into the middle of the bed lol But room was quite no outside noise and reasonable price (would be better once the above gets added to the room!!)

Stayed at The Dorrington a handful of times and have also found the staff to be friendly and polite. The rooms are clean and will always stay here and is central.
