accommodation in Basildon or Southend by the sea

Hi.Ive shipped my bike from Australia to the UK for a 3 month trip around europe starting early may.
I pick my bike up in Basildon and was wondering if anyone can reccommend a not too expensive hotel or B&b with secure bike parking in these areas.

tripadvisor is your friend.

A search for Basildon came up with this:

Thanks Papa lazarou.I'd been using that site and then checking the parking with google earth.some of the places that stated parking available was because they had a big public carpark next to them.would hate to have my bike go walkabout,especially at the beginning of my trip. I think i have found a suitable hotel in basildon.

Very wise but bike theft in the UK is mainly in London and mainly is of sports 600s

If you've brought over an FJR, nobody will know what it is. Perhaps.
