I was pleasantly surprised by the room size, which was much bigger than expected. The rooms were fantastic, albeit a little dated, and the odd placement of the TV didn't bother me as I enjoy that type of style. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the overall experience was great.

The service was lovely, particularly during breakfast service. The staff was very polite, attentive, friendly, and professional. However, there was a slight issue with slow table clearing in the bar area after meals.

The hotel was conveniently located for my work purposes, with easy access and plenty of parking. The room was comfortable and clean, plus the staff, although the noise from the nearby A12 was a bit bothersome.

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While the breakfast options were a bit underwhelming with frozen hash browns similar to a fast-food breakfast, the homemade Belgian waffles were a standout. However, there were issues with inconsistent pricing and disturbances during breakfast due to a photo shoot.

The hotel facilities were average, nothing extraordinary, with a few shortcomings in the dining area and noise disturbances.

The hotel had a few issues with the rooms, like cobwebs, chipped bath, and a cracked sink. However, the location was decent with fans provided for hot weather. The service was a mix of absent pool staff but helpful bedroom assistance. The dining experience fell short in quality but had some good items like hash browns.

My stay at Marks Tey was a mixed experience. The room was spacious but a bit dated, though clean with nice bedding. The swimming pool was a highlight, being lovely and warm. The reception staff were helpful, but overall, I was not completely satisfied.
