    We payed over £500 for the accommodation, I was there with my brother who had travelled from Germany. We thought a twin room would do, but unfortunately after the first night my brother could not sleep as I was snoring. So we ask as the hotel was empty if we could have another room for him to sleep in. We expected to pay for the further room but not at over £200 for two nights, they eventually dropped this to £159 but as we had already paid for the breakfast and evening meal, we felt this was excessive. The staff were not properly trained , all though they were very polite and well dressed. I had to show the bar staff how to pull a pint and also how to use the credit card machine. Not a good start for a up and coming hotel.

    It was very clean and the food was excellent

    Lift didn't work. We were on the 3rd floor and my wife has a foot problem that made it very painful for her to get to and from our room. The lighting was too bright at night time, it didn't turn down to an appropriate level. There were no bedside lamps available. The shower didn't drain, it overflowed. One day our bed wasn't made up. Quite a small room. Parking was limited.

    Bed was comfortable View

    Room was very cold, windows single glazed and could not be properly closed. Although the bathroom was refurbished there were parts still needing attention. It would have been helpful to have a walk in shower rather than over bath. Evening meal had limited choices. Lift to upper floors not working but staff carried the luggage.

    Location is central, not too noisy.

    Lift not working, having to climb 4 floors to the room. I'm 67 years old. Also, when you turn on the wash hand basin tap for hot water , it takes about 4 minutes at least for the hot water to reach the top floor from the boiler.

    The location and internal interior, restaurant was lovely and breakfast was excellent , some of the staff were very nice , but the greeting we got from reception at start was poor

    he hotel was in what they called a soft launch. The lift wasn't working so staff said they would find our elderly parents a ground floor room. This was up 30 stairs. We were told we had a sea view but as we had arrived early we had to wait . On return to reception we were told our package did not include that. Staff were very poor and bar staff did not know the bar

    The room was very good , however we were initially told we had a sea view.

    the towels in our room were wet and the towel dryer/ radiator in the bathroom was not working, it took us a whilst to sort out dry towels so we could have a shower as there was a problem with their tumble dryer too, bit more of a walk into town for something to eat as no evening meal available than the muthu we should have been staying in.

    we stayed in the best western not the muthu as it was closed for refurbishment, room had a good view, it was clean and the beds are very comfy, staff were friendly especially the girl behind the bar and on the front desk, breakfast was good, help yourself affair so you could have what you wanted

    The lifts were out of order for the full week we were there the blind in the bathroom didn't cover the full window and was covered in white paint which took away the look of the bathroom as it looked as though they had just been refurbished for the price we paid for a room you would have thought that would have included breakfast but it didn't and to have breakfast would have cost 20 a couple each day front steps could be an issue for disabled people as I didn't see a ramp

    The location was excellent if you get a room with a sea view it's a great view onto the water

    management didn’t wear masks. when I asked them why they weren’t wearing them they said they didn’t have to as they were double vaccinated. I explained that this was not the case and they argued about it. I would never go back there and that’s a shame!
