Nice little place, nothing special but has everything you need and expect from a more budget type hotel accommodation. Clean and tidy room, TV, tea and coffee facilities, on-suite bathroom and an average breakfast selection. Parking could an issue, depends what time of day you get there. Short walk to Chelmsford centre and very close to a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.
