A seafront hotel with lots of parking with no height restrictions. The staff were friendly enough and the whole hotel was clean (big up to the housekeeping team). There was absolutely no atmosphere throughout the whole hotel, the bar area wasn't inviting and it felt like being in a waiting room. I used the facilities in the spa area as their were children swimming lessons in the pool, there wasn't enough furniture or hooks for the towels and the whole area is old, grubby and in need of repair, it is far from luxury and I am so glad I didn't book a spa day here as I would have been highly disappointed. The room was a decent size and clean, had a fridge with free water, tea, coffee, biscuits, hair dryer, iron. The bathroom had a walk in shower this had no pressure and it took an age to get the shampoo out of my hair this morning, there is one fixed bottle of hair and body wash available in the shower and soap and moisturiser by the sink. The bed was comfortable but I was woken up at bam on my day off by the family with children upstairs running around like a bunch of elephants which really made me cross, receptionist wasn't bothered when I mentioned it to her at check out. I didn't stay for breakfast as it was too early for me to eat, had I woken when I expected to I would have been hungry. They took £50 out of my account when I checked in for any expenses and I am still waiting for them to refund it back into my account. I did leave disappointed after my stay and will not be c

Hotel is consistent in it's quality. 5th time my wife and I have stayed here and visit has always been excellent. Only downside this time was queue checking in, we've never seen the hotel so busy - they must be doing something right!

Lovely stay with access to Spa. Unfortunately we had very painful necks due to poor pillow quality. We would stay there again providing better pillow quality.

Nice position right near sea front.Helpful staff.

Breakfast for a 4 star hotel was not very good on the first morning better on 2nd and not as good on 3rd. Coffee machine not bean to cup which produced a below average coffee had tea on rest of breakfasts. Ketchup was in sachets which for that star rating was not what you would expect. The home of hops and no real ales just European beers on tap. Tap in bathroom sink if arm lifted to high it soaked us and the floor. Radiator in bathroom was not possible to regulate which made the room unbearably hot. Told them well in advance about our allergies but they were still not prepared which made things more difficult than it needed to be.
