    Ok for a quick stay and visit to the seaside.

    The overhead light kept flickering all night once turned off and kept me awake most of the night. I reccommend wearing slippers or socks in the room, the floor was a bit grubby. Better quality of meats for breakfast are advisable. The sausauge was "squishy" and unpalletable.

    The room was as expected for the money. Decor was tired and dated, but plain. I did not use the shower or any other amenities at the property. The breakfast was ok, but not great. Wonderful location near the promenade and the pier.

    It could be warmer in the room and a bit clearer.

    Nice quiet place near to everything . The beach is just cross the street. The singer (entertainment on Thursday) had a wonderful voice, nice song collection and all the atmosphere was so welcoming.

    Water pressure in bathroom was a bit low. Hot water could have been hotter. We booked a basic double room though.

    Large room, comfortable bed, very nice buffet breakfast, excellent evening meal (3 courses). Helpful and polite staff. fantastic location and great value for money. Would gladly recommend and stay again.

    A great old hotel from a bygone era however sorely in need of a renovation. Great location in walking distance to the pier and town. Ok for a nights stay.

    It’s a little run down but everyone who works there makes up for it.

    Look, this is a bit run down old British seaside hotel in need of some TLC. However with the price being what it is it is excellent value for money. Not to mention the staff. I met no person who wasn’t absolutely wonderful to talk to. They were helpful and smiled. If this place had a lick of paint and a bit of interior design with the current staff it would be able to demand much higher prices. Owners of you are reading this then get a little refurb on the go. Breakfast was nice with GF options and helpful staff.

    This is more what might bother people. It didn’t bother me. I think if you are looking for a 5 star hotel, then this might not be for you. It does need updating, floor boards creek, rooms r dated, but for a place to sleep, good value for money and location, what more can I say than, I would happily stay again. We should support these hotels. Times must be hard for them and we don’t want to see them close.

    Location on sea front, catching bus or driving to places

    Carpets and freshness of the rooms

    Rooms were quite poor. Carpets were really stained and shabby, although hovered. Paint work quite marked. Down stairs in the bar and entertainment areas were nice and clean just the bedrooms were very shabby. Food started off well but last two nights the dishes weren’t so good. Breakfast was pretty good

    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.
