We had our wedding reception in The Thurrock Hotel and it was great. Trish, Kirsty, Donna and all the staff were great from starting planning all the way to the end of the big day. …

Run down place. I'm surprised it is under Best Western name. Free car park and that's it. the rest is very bad.Heater does not work. Freezing room. Was given an electric small heating fan in an old building cold walls with no insulation. Windows let cold air through. Was night of hell.The night attendant was very apologetic but did not help me.Reception manager apologised in the morning and offered free points 😂🤣😂. What do I need free points for when I will never comeback again. And by the way, the pint never took place.Stay away from this place if u want to have a warm room and a decent food.

I used the Thurrock Hotel for a wedding party and I totally loved the decision to do so. Trisha was very helpful from the start to the end of the event. The team behind the bar were flexible and supportive. …

First time staying for a friend’s birthday event. Glad of the security gate as the area seemed a little remote. Plenty of carpark space on a Saturday evening, hotel barely used by the looks on arrival. A little tired, but functional. …

Great reception room, friendly staff, can't make any statements about the rooms. I was at a Wake. Even had a substantial refund on the the bar-tap. Which was enlighten first, never known or heard of reimbursement like mine beforehand, excellent.

2 of us planned to stay at this hotel for 2 nights 5-7 July. However we left after the first night. We stayed in room 202 and I was severely bitten during the night. See photos attached. …

The best experience we have had for a long time in a hotel, from the moment we arrived to the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff and the food was amazing. We would definitely return to this hotel if we were in this area in the future. Haven't stopped talking about this to our friends and family.
