Location is everything, and this hotel nails it—just a 5-minute walk from Southend Central Rail Station and within easy reach of key music spots. After the show, you can be back in your room in minutes. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and the 24-hour front desk means no stress if your gig runs late.
