Although the staff were very friendly there was not enough of them. The wait for our evening meal was over an hour and even then they got the meal wrong . As regards breakfast they kept running out of things. . The shower was not working properly in our room. All in all a bit of a disappointment which was a shame . Better management could make this a nice hotel

Reception Bar Staff always behind scenes chatting I had to go looking for service. Meal service very slow. Some staff very surly others very pleasant and helpful.
First evening both our meal’s were delicious well cooked presented good service.
Second evening had to wait almost 50 minutes ( they weren’t very busy. ) most disappointed with our meals. My pasta was swimming in oil and burnt onions couldn’t eat it. My husband had steak very tough again couldn’t eat it.
When the waitress asked had we enjoyed it we told her. She didn’t response. !
Breakfast I only had croissant, my husband toast. There were flasks of hot water to self serve tea / coffee not good. I asked for flat white and told I would be charged £3:10 not acceptable. Especially when I wasn’t eating full breakfast. However manager did agree to me having one without charge. Thank you.

Been to the Kingscliff several times and is our go to place for frequent visits to Clacton on Sea.
Friendly, efficient staff, excellent quality food and drink and in a great location. Well appointed rooms although some are car park facing & offer no sea views.
Overall a delightful, relaxing place to stay.

They provided us with a family room when complained about the original allocated room where located right next to the boiler room. It’s a pity there was no bath tub but only a shower with less pressure.

Location is excellent for the sandy beach and long promenade walk. The hotel has a sheltered garden to sit in, at the front, overlooking the sea.

I feel that Travelzoo members are offered a discount rate for rooms that are already the cheapest . Our room was at the back, in the car park, in an annex, with a small high window.

The only thing I felt was a bit of a problem the fact that there were no coasters in the room to put a glass on and this was a bit of a problem as it could potentially ruin the wood

We arrived on a Sunday. My fault I had only printed off one form, we had booked two, I had paid when booking but because I didn't have 2nd form with pin number I had to pay again. When I phoned Travelzoo Monday morning they immediately sorted it out for me and arranged for a refund. 5 stars to Travelzoo for their action and help.

Stayed for two nights. We upgraded to a sea view room which had a lovely view with very large bed. Bathroom was rather small with no bath. Room was very clean but a little tired looking. Large free car park at back of hotel & great location on the seafront. Large bar area with loads of seating although it can get very busy & noisy at times. Staff were all very friendly although service could be a little slow. The only real disappointment was the breakfast, the cooked breakfast was fine but spoiled by cheap bread & pastries & concentrated juice on continental buffet. Overall good value for money based on what we paid.

The grey colour in the double room was a bit gloomy to wake up to.
Freshly decorated upstairs, shower cubicle not over a bath. Sea view was a bit of a stretch as sea was only just visible from our window. . Lovely garden.

Our stay this time was sadly not quite as good as before.
Staff were insufficient to cope with bar demands on a very busy Sat night.
Room not laid up as agreed and reminded on each occasion. Leah, Senior Receptionist, very kindly remedied.
Shower items: one empty and the other facing wrong way so unable to read label, remedied by the housekeeping but on second day.
Sunday night, sold out of roast dinners when we arrived for our 7 booking. Other diners were equally disappointed. Fish and chips excellent, which we then ate on both nights. Restaurant waiter lovely and very attentive. Breakfast staff seemingly untrained and uninterested.
Queried original bill as overpaid when booking, refunded by receptionist.
Monday breakfast lacking their usual fresh fruit cocktail, choice was cut water melon and whole oranges and apples.
Our sea facing room is lovely and will certainly return, hoping that these problems are resolved.

Another guest bursting into our room because the reception staff had given him the wrong room key
and we had already been their 3 days ! The apology from the staff was very mediocre, sorry ! Then to cap it all following our return to the room after dinner the staff had cancelled our room key !
The resturant staff where extremely noisy shouting to each other at each end of the breakfast room whilst we where having breakfast and cleaning down the next table to us with a spray whilst we where eating breakfast. The evening menu was exactly the same as last April no change to it !
