My stay at Premier Inn Southend Airport was mostly positive. The location was convenient for both the airport and the beach, making it easy to explore. The staff were friendly and efficient during check-in, although I did face an issue with an additional charge that was later refunded. Overall, the comfort of the bed and the cleanliness of the room made for a pleasant experience.

I had a pretty decent stay at Premier Inn Southend Airport, especially since it's super close to the airport, just a quick five-minute drive. The breakfast was a total win—hot and fresh, just what I needed before catching my flight. However, my room felt pretty outdated, with no sign of those refurbished ones I had heard about. Overall, it was a solid pick for a night before an early flight, but I really hope they update those older rooms soon.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. While I was pleased with the comfort of the bed and the cleanliness of the linen, my arrival was marred by a less-than-friendly check-in process and a damp smell in the room. The location is convenient for access to the airport and local amenities, but the lack of upkeep was disappointing.
