    Unfortunately we had a very nosey family upstairs and kids were running around till 2 in the morning. These things can’t be helped but the manager was supposed to call us as we spoke to reception about this. Never got the phone call so that was very disappointing customer service

    It was average. Fine for the couple of days we stayed for

    The Reception area and front door needs interior decorator to bring it back to its former glory. Too much gloss paint, like a railway station. Needs a makeover to bring it back to its original classic heritage

    The Location and comfort. Clean room and nice staff. The price was very reasonable for working class people.

    I went out for the day only to return about 4.30pm to find my room had not been serviced. Much of the decor is tired and in need of refurbishment. The "double glazing " is ineffective. Some of the woodwork at the front of the hotel is rotten.

    Staff pleasant and helpful. Food of acceptable standard and served speedily.

    Improve on cleanless in room and bathroom. Breakfast you could tell the sausages were cheap and cooked in microwave. Hrash browns were dry and tasteless. Our room was too hot. Heating wasn't on, could work out why it was hot. Tv was to small for rooms. Our door didn't close very well.

    Size off rooms were great. Teas coffees, bottle of water in rooms which add a nice touch. Lovely bar and lounge area to enjoy. Very spacious, staff were friendly and very helpful

    The rooms are much for basic and dated than the photos show. I was locked in the bathroom, unable to open the door from the inside and the front door handle came off in my hand. The room which we were upgraded to was still very dated. I was surprised given how nice the hotel looks in the pictures.

    There was an issue with our room and we were very quickly upgraded to a better, seafront room.

    Very tired decor and general feel of the place. Massive under investment was obvious in many places. For example, the lining of our curtain had a piece cut out of it and we think it had been used to make the bathroom blind ….. Breakfast was not great. We were herded like sheep and it felt a bit Butlins c. 1976. It was not good value in my opinion.

    Good location, available parking, kind staff, large room on the corner of the building gave us excellent views of the sea. The room location almost justified the price.

    Single room (132) unsuitable for use. Insufficient storage space for clothing or toiletries. Bathroom virtually unusable for tall person such as myself. Only way to be able to charge telephone or hearing aids was by pulling cupboard away from wall. The 2 power points are inaccessible otherwise. This room should be taken out of use.

    Fresh fruit salad limited fruits (no grapes) Cooked elements limited. No fried eggs, no mushrooms. What was there was good. Nice friendly staff.

    Old lift system problematic and caused distress when malfunctioned. Dinner booked in hotel restaurant was very disappointing. Burnt overcooked tart and salad leaves were not all fresh. Reported to waitress to inform chef and came back and said sorry. In all fairness reception did not charge us. Poor interference on t.v .

    Great selection, and good quality. Nice bright breakfast room .
