For the price of the room I can't complain, and was very close to the venue and the staff were all pleasant and friendly. However, the hotel is quite run down, the TV had no signal, the cup in the room was dirty, the key card didn't work all that well. Breakfast buffet was ok but not worth £11.

Great hotel, only 6 mints walk to the seafront. Rooms were a nice size. The building itself is a little tired and the spa facilities weren't great but the pool was nice. Staff were really friendly and made for a lovely stay.

Dated hotel. Room was spacious but not particularly clean. Hotel needs modernising. We also experienced people going through the bins after returning from an evening out. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Would not recommend.

It's a rare joy to find a hotel with in room controlled aircon. I'd rebook just for that! The hotel is a grand old place and parking is a nightmare. But it's well situated with a sea walk just yards from your door and a surprisingly quiet location close to town.

The room itself is cosy and updated, but the facilities looks outdated. Once I stepped out the room I felt the vibe is back 30 years ago. Still it is a nice stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Booked this for my wife to stay for a couple of nights to investigate the area and meet up with family nearby. The first night, single room was very small (like a cupboard) outdated and dirty. Also lots of noise from other rooms and corridors. A free upgrade the next day to a double room was given after complaining but that room was not much bigger and also very dirty and dilapidated. This is an old, tired and uncared for building and should probably be knocked down. Staff aren't enthusiastic and appear unhappy. There are many more, much better hotels to be discovered nearby. This may well be a four star hotel but reviews are definitely more reliable when choosing your hotel!

We would stay again, But our first visit on Monday 22nd 2025, there were a few things I could notice, carpet,stair carpet very fraid needs looking into, language issues at reception. Room 222 bathroom needs an update, bath needs looking at, sealant around bath and tiles definitely needs doing. 2nd visit Room 307 much better, again bathroom needs looking at sealant again. Slanting Roof above bed could lead to head injury issues maybe a warning sign saying mind your head may help. Man on reception 2nd visit was outstanding, couldn't do enough for us.Like All hotel rooms Never enough tea, coffee milk on offer in Room's
