“Holiday Inn Southend's modern design and soundproofed rooms offer a comfortable base, especially convenient with its proximity to the airport. I think that the rooftop restaurant, with its AA Rosette, is a genuine highlight, mixing dining with airport views. The hotel strikes me as a practical choice for business and families alike, not least because of the kids-stay-free deal.”
