London Stubbers Activity and Adventure Centre Hotels

"I stayed here for one night as a solo traveller. On arrival they asked for ID, which I found a bit unusual, and then sent a link asking for credit card details to cover any potential damages. I understand why hotels do this, but it did feel a bit impersonal. The location is good and there’s plenty of parking, which is a big plus. The reception area looks nice and the room had a fridge, which was useful. The air conditioning worked fine. The room itself was a bit of a disappointment compared with the photos online. The bed was quite hard and not very comfortable, and the Wi-Fi kept dropping in and out. There were spiders and flies in the room, which wasn’t great. One slightly odd thing was the attitude around takeaway food. Another guest mentioned the hotel doesn’t really like people bringing takeaway in, and that they weren’t keen to provide plates. As I was travelling alone and ordered food to the room, that felt a bit awkward. The staff weren’t rude, but they came across quite robotic and not particularly welcoming. I accidentally left my room key in the room and had to go to reception to get a new one, and the interaction just felt uncomfortable rather than helpful. Overall it’s in a convenient area and the reception area looks nice, but the rooms don’t quite match the impression given by the photos. I’ve stayed in many hotels and for some reason this one just didn’t feel very comfortable."

"Best Western Thurrock Hotel is a good hotel if you need a place to stay and relatively cheap. It’s in a good location for Lakeside shopping centre, the M25 and the dartford bridge. The entrance to the hotel itself needs refreshing as the road is damaged with slight potholes so if visiting make sure to go slowly. Once on the grounds of the hotel there was good amount of parking and wheelchair friendly walkway to get into the hotel with a ramp. The reception on arrival is lovely and very welcoming, the hotel itself is very large and has a lot of bedrooms and suites as they host weddings. Short walk upstairs to the rooms, no lift so be aware when booking if you cannot do stairs. The rooms themselves need a really good renovation, they are very outdated, but a good large size. The first room (121) we checked into was horrible. The pipes for the taps were very loud and the smell from the drains were potent. We spoke to reception and they moved us with ease and they were fantastic about that, finding another room quickly and letting us view it first before choosing due to the past room being bad. The second room we checked into was great, minus the outdated carpet and VERY squeaky floorboards which definitely need to be looked at. The bathroom at a good size and renovated well with no bad smells or stains. The bed was comfy and it was a lovely night to sleep. Would stay again but this hotel definitely needs upgrading :) "

"Nice place to stay and I will recommend "

"Great location for lakeside shopping centre. Lots of parking. Friendly staff. Room is on the small side fine for a night but would struggle for longer. Comfortable bed and pillows. Hot shower and decent toiletries. WiFi is really poor just hitting 1mb! Had to use phone data to watch firestick. "

"No breakfast at 0700. Only stayed one night for work and the room was comfy enough"

"The hotel was undergoing maintenance which wasn’t made clear at the time of booking. Staff walked into our room without knocking. No clean towels were given unless asked for and there was hardly anyone around to ask. Staff were drinking cans of Stella on premises. Did not feel wanted at the hotel at all"

"This spa retreat is fully equipped with all needed to rest and rejuvenate in the same location. Everything and everyone was top tier in service and presentation. The only let down was the food and even that was fine it just didn’t match the other areas of excellence"

"Stayed a few times… Great staff, clean and "

"Clear communication with the host, check in was smooth. We had 3 cars, parking was free. Great value for money, not too expensive as there were 8 of us that stayed at the house. Good enough size garden, nice interior decor. Overall, stay was quite good, I’d stay here again."
