I have stayed in a lot of different hotels in the last month, and if this is a 4 star hotel then the others were 7 or 8 star.
The first room we were given hadn’t been cleaned properly with crisps on the chair.
The bed sheets were torn and the mattress had dirt on it.
We were moved to another room wish was slightly better so we stayed although my wife wanted to check out immediately.
The bathroom in the second room looked good but the toilet didn’t flush well and the shower was very slippery.
The following morning I was woken at 08.30 am and told I would have to use my car as they were going to put up scaffolding.
I wasn’t impressed when I asked could it wait 30 minutes and was told no.
I did park my car close to the hotel as children were playing football in the centre of the car park and didn’t want my car damaged.
Not impressed I would not choose to return.
Easy to find and pleasant enough, room was well appointed but the TV didn't have sound, we don't really use it so no bother. Bed was pretty big so very comfy and the bathroom was very nice.
We paid for breakfast at nearly £18 for two i was expecting a decent choice. What we got was not very good at all, stone cold bacon, stone cold eggs and one stone cold hash brown. The beans were the only hot thing with the toast you cook yourself.

Great staff but basic facilities
Staff were lovely and the check in and out were quick and efficient. Several things in the room did not work but comfortable bed. The breakfast wasn’t great. The staff, though were all extremely helpful and cheerful.
Excellent location, short walk from station. Spacious room, very comfortable bed. Disappointed to find no fridge in the room & no glasses to drink from. The hot beverage selection was great but the bottles of water were very small.
Friendly, helpful staff who helped us to find a quiet room. Good location - only 5 mins walk into town and a local Co-op opposite. The bed was comfortable. The only downside was the lack of air-conditioning and windows that would not open fully. Although a fan was provided, the room was still quite hot. A refrigerator in the room would also have been nice.
Located close to the station and to the main High Street within about 5/10 min walk easy to access local amenities. Room was adequate all be it very stuff/close at night. Breakfast was poor, food was luke warm at best. The staff however on the whole helpful and polite. Location was good, although the hotel itself is over priced for what it is, it is in a good location and the executive rooms are adequate the standard rooms are just about passable old and tired and in desperate need to updating!!
Nice hotel, very easy to check in and out. Good sized bed and very comfortable. Slightly out from the centre but only a short walk. Ample on-site parking.
We stayed for two nights to allow us to explore Chelmsford and the surrounding area (RHS Hyde Hall & Essex Regimental Museum etc). The reception staff were very polite and helpful, but owing to the recent Covid restrictions the room did not get cleaned during our stay but I was able to obtain additional coffee, milk etc from reception. The room was spacious and comfortable and there were many spare spaces in the car park (which is always important to us). It is walking distance from the railway station and city centre. However, there is an extremely bad pot-hole located in the approach road to the car park (when exiting back on to New Road) and this in my opinion should be drawn to guests attention when leaving the hotel for the first time.
Overall would certainly recommend it
The bed was very large and comfortable and a well appointed room, the breakfast was plentiful but I was surprised how many items were 'shared surfaces' such as large jugs of juice with fiddly lids touched by all guests and even though signs to wear masks in the breakfast dining room several guests didn't and it was not enforced which seemed odd whilst having a self serve buffet style arrangement. I would also like to have seen hand sanitizer provided on the tables
Always a good stay here. Friendly and Polite. The rooms are spacious and clean with a huge bed and big tv. Good WiFi connection for working or streaming.
Breakfast was COVID style takeaway but that will change once Covid is over.
Happy Stay and will return

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Adequate
I was allowed early check in after requesting but the rooms are extremely poor standard even after an apparent revamp. The carpets are dirty and marked, the heating broke and was freezing but they did give us a portable heater. There are no plugs near the bed so you can’t charge devices near and have to use ones by television. The shower is over the bath but you practically have to stand on the plug hole to get the shower which is impossible as the bath also is narrower at the end. The whole stay was rather disappointing. The only good thing was the beds and sheets were comfortable.
Check in, and room as per the norm, friendly and professional.
In saying that I cut my stay short by 1 day as I did not feel the hotel was managing Covid as per government guidelines.
I came in to reception and found 15-20 B&M staff huddled in groups, squashed on the seating chatting and not adhering to the 2m rules.
Most disappointing about this is the receptionist was not managing this, and asking them to stay apart.
This raised concerns in my mind that if this was not being done correctly by Best Western, what else is not being adhered to.
Working away from home, and staying in hotels in current climate is a priviledge, and as such should not be used as a social event. Room, reception and exit - thats it.
Very disappointed...
