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.

One to look out for.

The hotel needs a bit more updating. But the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly and ever ready to help. Must put a word in for receptions Laura and the young staff on breakfast. Both really helpfull and always with a smile. This hotel will cone on in leaps and bounds from its last occupation.

The staff are really nice, but the room wasnt the best, the bed was on a slope. The bathroom was very small to the point the toilet was hard to access, a garden hose would of been better than the shower. The hotel location is very good its not a bad hotel but dont expect much

The staff were so friendly & hospitable & went out of their way to help & get whatever we needed. Cleaners literally just emptied the bin but left dirty cups on the side & didn’t replenish the coffee…also not enough milk available (it does say to ask at reception but didn’t realise there wasn’t enough until we went to make it in the morning) Bar area decor was ok….our room on the other hand was very dated BUT to be fair….we had a decent price for 2 nights considering you get 24hr reception & the staff were so helpful

Was nice but could have been so much more.

Was ok, i enjoyed the sea view room. Over-all experience was positive, but a couple of the day staff showed a lack of empathy for the elderly or those that didnt quite understand some of the rules. My room was clean but carpet hadnt been hoovered recently.

Would stay again.

Good location . Minutes to sea front . All on the flat. Car parking right out front . Amazingly helpful and friendly reception staff. Our room was ideal for just a place to sleep , shower and put our stuff. Very warm , and we was able to open window. To me this is a major plus in a hotel. Great value for money.
