Fully refurbished room within a newly refurbished hotel. Great central location with parking (local council) available within a 3 minute walk. Bars, shops and restaurants nearby and a short 2 minute walk to promenade. Room has a kitchenette which is very handy. The member of staff ‘Charlie’ was extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Can highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.

Very nice place to stay I paid via hotels.com and I still had to give them my credit card and drivers license which annoyed me. But the place is really nice inside the curtains in my room didn’t block out the street lights that were on all night

It’s new, tidy, clean but lacks soul. I had a massive room that was mostly empty space and no artwork on the walls to give it some character. It’s as if no thought was put into the decorating. Needs some work in the decor department
