OYO Pier Hotel

Becky, who’s in charge, is hardworking, friendly and supportive. The location is nice, close to the seashore, Clacton Pier and the town centre.

I booked a bit last minute after a well-known local hotel let me down. Becky was really helpful from the start. I can’t remember the room name, but I was in number 10. It had everything I needed and was clean. I was only there for one night, but I’d definitely stay again.

We didn’t hear much from our room except the seagulls, which is what you’d expect at a seafront hotel. The pier is about 30 seconds away and the town is two minutes away, so the location is brilliant. We were lucky to get one of the two parking spaces. At busy times you’ll need to park off-site, which is a downside. We stayed in the Superior Double, the bridal suite, and the room was perfect, really spacious, with a nice sofa, a big bed and a bathroom with both a shower and a bath. There were lovely little extras too, like shower gels, bubble bath and lotions, with about three types to choose from. The outside area had a table and chairs, plus sun loungers, though the weather meant we couldn’t use them. The only thing that bothered us was having just a clothes rail for storage, and not enough hangers. We didn’t mind too much because everything else was so good. A lovely lady greeted us at the front desk and showed us to our room. We’d definitely recommend staying here.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the rooms were spotless and quiet. I can’t remember the last time I slept that well. After a day of travelling, it was lovely to relax in a comfy bed and watch TV. My husband and I were visiting family, and the location was perfect, close to everything we needed. We’d definitely book again.
