An okay stay

Good parking area. Great location.Friendly, helpful & welcoming reception staff. Room a little cramped, very very small bathroom. Had to ask for tea/sugar, etc. Had to use own toilet roll when the one in the room ran out. Very noisy kids in cars along seafront at night ( no fault of the hotel but did have an impact on our stay).

Quick stop

Hotel is very pet friendly and ideally situated by the seafront. The room is fine but very hot even with the fan. Otherwise all good!

6/10 Good

One night stay

Typical seaside town hotel. Good location and the view over the bay was nice. Room was a decent size. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Room was generally clean but could do with a decent dust and hoover as it showed signs of a long summer season. Main reason for the low rating was down to the external noise during the night which was not the fault of the hotel but we couldn't close the windows as the room was so warm.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was very nice
Callum, 3-night trip

Prime position friendly staff

Lovely reception staff, bathroom a tight squeeze. Breakfast was good, location very good. Lift not reliable. Free parking for disabled displaying their Blue badge.

Gillian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a thumbs up!

Sadly the evening meal choice and standard of the evening meal has dropped over the years. No evening entertainment unless they have a coach party staying was also a sad discovery. Overall the staff are their usual helpful cheery selfs. Breakfast is good. Standard 3 star hotel.
