DIRECTIONS: The reception is in the main square area and on maps as 'Event Essex'. To get here, you should park at 'Car Park B' by 'Essex Sport Gym'.It's fine for what it is. The lack of signage is awful so hopefully the instructions above help others where I spent an hour finding the reception. The room is fine, the food is awful and unhealthy but there's a good kitchen, also some pubs and restaurants and a Tesco are within walking distance.
