A decent place
The friendly and helpful staff ensured I had a comfortable stay, the room was chilly one night, as the heating didn't work and the staff supplied a heater immediately, the shower was rather small but suited me fine, overall I got a good deal on the room and have no complaints, the hotel is clean & cosy.

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.

My stay is based on a last minute £44 booking - value for money was 100% All staff were very friendly and pleasant. Room was clean and basic. My only negative was being a man over 6 foot it was almost impossible to use the toilet or shower. Unsure if all the en suites are that small, we had room 137. You have to sit on the toilet at an angle! Im sure would be fine for those 5"5 and under. Id book again for the same price.

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.

Clean friendly but needed a bit of TLC
Staff were friendly and very helpful, lovely sea view from room but room could have been better everything looked half finished needed a bit of TLC and lift was not working. Dinning room was beautiful and the whole hotel was clean. We didn’t pay a lot for hotel so really couldn’t complain would stay again but in different room.

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
