Good location, good hotel, would have liked some sort of a headboard on the beds and bed lights were right above our heads which we did bump our heads a few times on. Free parking was a bonus.

Clean, comfortable, convenient, would stay again.

Solo stay in a single room. Clean and comfortable. Few minutes walk to beach and main pier. Mini supermarket also a few mins away. Coffee tea and kettle, small table fan, soap in shower and at sink, two towels, daily room service. The water heater pipes were slightly noisy at night, but I had earplugs so it was no problem. Full English breakfast (also veggie option) served from 8:15, make your choice of breakfast the night before and it’s on your assigned table the next morning. Cheapest price around for this central location, would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Midweek break

Midweek break 3 nights. Although the parking was free, it was very tight and double parked and every morning had to wait about 15 minutes to get the car in front moved. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very limited and at a set time 8.30 no flexibility and had to be ordered in advance. Bar prices were very reasonable. The room though was extremely tired, The windows didn't work and could not be opened properly, decor was poor, badly in need of a repaint and would also suspect structural problems looking at the way the window was twisted. Ensuite was clean and fully functional. Generally the hotel was Okay, but rooms need major refurbishment.
