Happy to stay

Very nice hotel with great service. Some areas of the rooms are a bit dated but, generally, the hotel has a lovely feel.

Happy memories

This hotel holds many memories for us. We very much enjoyed our stay there. Thank you.
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is the best aspect

Location is great, within walking distance of seafront and town centre. Quiet by night. Pool area is nice. Downsides are the rooms are cramped - (or at least lower category ones are) - in a side seaview room there is only enough room for one person to walk around the bed at once. Bathroom is tired with a very weak hose shower over the bath. Breakfast was just OK. Service is poor, all the customers had to keep trying to get staff attention for what they needed. Some of the food is iffy - scrambled eggs are inedible (reconstituted?). I'd stay again for the location if I felt inclined to pay more for a bigger room.
