Few problems during the stay of 2nights. Window latch broken. No cold water out of the basin tap. Shower trickling. However although these issues arose the professional staff were fantastic. From the time we arrived till when we left, we were treated exceptionally well. Fantastic customer services!

Feels in need of modernisation - creaky floors, doors which shut with a bang, lift not working. But staff were friendly and the room very comfortable. For the (low) price, it was fine.

The hotel was lovely but the bathroom was very small and the water trickled rather than running properly. So showering took a lot longer. The heating in the room was on quite a lot and as the room was very small so it got unbearable in the evening and window could only be opened slightly. We could not contact the staff from the room as there was no telephone although the leaflet about the hotel which was given when checking in advised to call reception for any issues that arose. It was nice for the price we paid but not sure if l would book the hotel unless we got a bigger room with a larger bathroom.

The hotel needs a little TLC but the staff more than make up for that . Kim and her team give the hotel a fantastic, professional, efficient but more importantly a great welcoming family feel. Seldom have we been treated to such kindness and frienship. We cannot recomend this hotel enough. Kim, ian, sarah, laura , acacia, francis charley thankyou so much, see you all soon, good luck in all you do.

Upon arriving we were greeted by a lovely & very helpful receptionist, we enquired if there was a seaview room, which he organised for us. When we got to said room we found a hole in the bathroom door, electric socket had been smashed off the wall, door closer has been pulled out of the wall & sweet wrappers & sweets on the carpet. We headed back to reception to inform them, a different receptionist was there, who was equally helpful, offered to move us, as she only knew about the hole in the door!! She asked me to send the photos I took via email to her. We said we'd stay in the room as long as we wouldn't be blamed. As were only staying overnight. Beds were comfortable, seaview was lovely, shower was nice & hot, Tea tray was well stock, the room was quiet for being on the seafront. Downstairs looked lovely but we didn't eat or drink so can't comment. The lift was broken

Do not book here!
Hotel cancelled the day of check-in. No one has been helpful for a refund. It left my father and his wife scrambling for alternative accommodation, without any help from hotels.com nor the hotel. When is the refund going to be paid?

No housekeeping all week, dirty disgusting room
Hotel was dirty outside with bird poo everywhere, dead plants with cigarette butts in the soil. Checking in was fine and efficient but the lift was tight and compact, walking to our room we noticed the floorboards squeaking a lot. Walking into our room we noticed the carpet was discoloured and had food bits on it, the leather seats were peeling, soap dispenser was hanging off the wall, tv was about 14 inches and aerial didn’t work for most of the stay, shower basin would fill up and empty very slowly, with every flush of the toilet it was like somebody was using a numatic drill it was that loud, mattress was bouncy and sloped on one side, curtains were dusty and window was full of seagull poo, on the rooftop outside our window there were wires and seagull poo galore plus wild plants growing. We had no housekeeping for the 5 nights we were at the hotel, no new bed sheets, no towels, no cleaning of the rooms and emptying of the bins whatsoever, room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. Told manager about this and she said to email her about it and I did and have heard nothing in response yet. Do not stay here at this hotel, spend a bit extra and go to a small b&b as this hotel is too large to keep clean and tidy.
