Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a thumbs up!

Sadly the evening meal choice and standard of the evening meal has dropped over the years. No evening entertainment unless they have a coach party staying was also a sad discovery. Overall the staff are their usual helpful cheery selfs. Breakfast is good. Standard 3 star hotel.

Good stay

All good, no issues room wasn’t like the photos, so very disappointed. Only used the room to sleep as out all through the day. Small bathroom , door in front of the sink so tight squeeze , small shower!
Natalie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

While the location is very good the hotel lacks any atmosphere and needs uodating. You can tell its had a lick of paint recently but the floorboards creak loudly, the fixtires in the bathroom were loose and hadnt been cleaned properly. The communal corridoor has avery strong smell of what i think is stale urine. On a positive note the beds and bedding were very clean and comfortable and the lady at reception, who seemed to be the only staff member, was very welcoming and helpful.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, view from room 214 gorgeous, breakfast was a bargain and really nice, cannot fault in any way
Karen, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

ok types

The breakfast was not a buffett, we cant refill beans or scrambled... That was a bit rude. The rooms were also small and the shower was even smaller - so much so that you can barely stand in that. The good thing was the location as its right opposite beach. Overall, an average experience - definitely not so great
Neeraj, 4-night trip

Could have been a lot better

very poor quality refurb only recently complete.Water pressure in shower abismal. Silly children in pop pop cars racing up and down outside in the early hours caused lack of sleep. Good points Staff, Location, Parking, good matresses.

Super seafront hotel

Superb stay here for a few days. Lovely seafront hotel with plenty of parking (£6 a day).The rooms have been recently decorated so they were very nice.The staff were super friendly & nothing was too much. Comfy beds,clean towels and a good selection for tea & coffee making.
