Okay place to stay, wouldn't stay again though. Breakfast wasn't too bad but the whole place had the scent of wet dog

I struggled whether to write this review.I’ll start by saying the staff were absolutely lovely,very professional and dealt with our complaint with real empathy.Unfortunately,the pictures on the site do not reflect the reality of this hotel,as another guest in reception at the same time also raised. Firstly,we filtered our results by parking,as this was really important.I didn’t realise until I phoned the hotel that parking is on-street only along a busy sea-front,with some spaces at the back.They heavily stressed that there’s no CCTV here.We did find a space.When we went in,it smelt strongly of smoke.Admittedly this may be because someone was smoking near the entrance.The room itself was stifling hot,which concerned us,though the staff member kindly offered to try to find a fan.The room overlooked a flat roof with rubbish on and the paint was cracked and peeling away from the wall in some places.There was an accumulation of dust in the bathroom fan (I was disappointed to have a very small shower cubicle and no bath - challenging when travelling with small children).There were running dirty water marks and cracks on the bathroom walls and main door,and what could have possibly been mould in places.The advertised restaurant only opened for breakfast,leaving us with no food options other than delivery - unless we wanted to risk our parking space and drive into town.For over £160 per night,this was unacceptable.We left and booked a different hotel.The lady kindly refunded us.

The staff well coming. Breakfast very good.

Good breakfast and plenty of on street parking.

Good stay

The staff are lovely here. My room had a sea view and it was beautiful to wake up to. There is only street parking outside but it is free too. I will certainly visit again.

Check in was easy. Staff helpful. The lift was like the lifts on Titanic, you had to close the gate before it would move. The room was ok, bed very uncomfortable.. I could feel every spring. Breakfast wasn't the best. Mushrooms horrible. Beans very watery. Scrambled egg not very nice. Sausage and bacon were OK. The staff multitask. The same lady was on reception, the bar and serving breakfast. Parking on the road was free. Would I stay again? I doubt it!

Nice place to stay for armed forces weekend,top breakfast

Hotel needs substantial investment. Rooms are adequate but likes of showers are extremely dated

Room was clean and comfortable with good facilities for the price. Room walls a bit thin as you could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room.
