    people were trying to get in the room multiple times between 9-10 pushing the door handle but the door was locked. was either staff with a key card or a lost person at the wrong room. the bar was still quite loud at 10 and since we were right above the bar we could hear the music loud

    located in a quite part of weston super mare with a lovely view of the sea. lovely place and had a bar/ entertainment room. rooms had a stand up shower and beautiful high ceilings

    There is a lift but if don’t have time to wait for it the stairs are very steep. Our shower also wouldn’t get warm for atleast 5 minutes and when it did it spirted out water.

    Decent enough location and friendly receptionist

    We arrived at 5pm. After settling in we asked about an evening meal and was told we could eat at 6pm and paid 20.00 each for the meal. We were given a menu to look at and decided what we were going to order. We went in to the restaurant and the waitress came to take our starters. She then came back to say “ I don’t want to rush you but we only have a jacket potato and a vegetable chilli left for your main”. Neither of these was we going to order but ended up having to have them as there was nothing else. We were told your meals have to be booked at breakfast which obviously we couldn’t do. I feel we should have had it explained to us that there would not be much choice and it would only be what was left over, then we could have made the decision to eat elsewhere.

    Breakfast was lovely

    Ideal location, room spacious & clean. Just wish we had not been given a room by the bar!

    We were given the family room by the bar but was not warned about the 'live' music in the bar that night. We had a long day and retired early in our room only to be woken up by the loud music which went on till 11:00pm. We rang the reception twice to see if they could change our rooms but no one answered. we spoke to staff who was managing the bar that night who told us the music will not stop till 11:00. The hotel should not have booked guests in that room knowing full well that there is a performance at the bar that night. The least staff could have warned us about it when checking in. Not happy!!! If you are travelling as a family and want a quiet night, please do not take up the room on ground floor by the bar. Please refuse it straight away! Breakfast was not a good experience - We waited for about 20 mins to even get noticed to take out request. The breakfast arrived and it was cold and some parts of the food not properly cooked. we had to wait for another 15 mins for some toast and tea. There was only one young girl doing the service and she may been really busy but surely for £40.00 (we were a group of 4) we would have expected a bit more good service. we had to go to reception and ask for some glasses to be put in the cereal bar area to get a drink as there were no glasses in spite of us requesting the girl for some.

    The room was spacious and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Staff at reception were friendly. The location was ideal and walkable distance to the main beach, eateries. There were spaces to park the car on the road side just few mins away from the hotel.

    The weather was incredibly hot when we visited ~30 degrees. We requested a fan for the room and the hotel was unable to provide one as all had been taken. A little disappointing, but perhaps fair enough as I'm sure everyone had requested them all already in such unique weather. The huge windows that offered the great views only opened a tiny amount, so the room was unbearably hot and west facing so getting all the evening sun. Further to this, due to the heat we went down to the reception where there were 2 night porters working. It must have been around 11pm to midnight, and we requested to buy a bottle of cold water (which they had in stock as they checked). We were refused being able to buy the bottles as apparently the till was switched off for the night and we didn't have the exact change. I asked if we could take the water and pay the bill at check-out, and they said "no, we don't think we can do that" and left it at that. There was no apology or attempt to help so we went without cold water. There are kettles in the room, so we could boil our own water, but in such temperature the cold water as is sold at reception would have been preferable. I was 10p short for the bottle of water - which relative to the £130 odd paid for the room feels a little frustrating - particularly as I would have paid full value when their till was open. The cooked breakfast is quite modest in size and the quality of the food was average. The hotel does not claim to have it (in retrospect of looking again), but there is no shampoo or body wash provided in the rooms, only bars of soap.

    The location of the hotel is right on the sea edge, with excellent sea views - and in our room's case, a massive floor to ceiling window to enjoy said views. This was the highlight of the hotel stay. A short walk from the island and beach along the coast, and literally a less than 1 minute walk to the coastal path right next to the sea was really good. The location is in the north of Weston-Super-Mare, where things are a little quieter with less noisy cars and people during the day and night. Although no parking is provided, a near-by and cheap pay and display (or app paid) car park is available which was easy to find and close enough to still be convenient. The day time and breakfast serving staff were welcoming, friendly and professional.
