    The walls are paper thin. Tough when you have little ones trying to get to sleep.

    Another guest was disappointed that the building is older. I know this building, so my expectations were met. The rooms interiors are very comfortable and clean and I enjoyed a generous continental breakfast.

    The noise from people above, sounded like an elephant’s in the ceiling. Also main windows didn’t have nets so everyone could see in if we opened them.

    The staff was lovely. It was clean and tidy.

    The look of the outside. If you were just driving past you possibly wouldn’t stop

    Outside of property is run down. Inside was aged but ok. Tidy and clean. Got what we paid for as we just wanted a bed for the night.

    It’s a warm, dry, cosy place to stay for an over night stay if you’re stopping in the area.

    I’ve been a professional housekeeper in the past and I noticed when using the bathroom to apply make up that there was green grime around the bottom of the taps on the bathroom which could’ve easily been removed with Jiff and an old toothbrush. There were brown marks and a brown substance up high on the bathroom wall which could’ve been removed by a mop by the cleaners before we arrived and also there was mould in the grout around the bath which made the spa bath unappealing. A good spray with some bleach in the grout could probably fix that problem. I just noticed these things because as I mentioned I was previously a professional cleaner myself and I would’ve cleaned these things before letting any guests stay. Perhaps have a talk with housekeeping about these things, it would’ve made a huge difference to our stay if I hadn’t of noticed these things.

    It was close to the location we were headed to for a function so it was very convenient. It was comfortable and tidy and the coffee in the sachets was nice. We liked the large screen TV and the free wifi available. There was a heater if you’re cold and a fan in the wardrobe if you’re hot. The bed was very comfortable. We used the microwave to heat our food and there’s also a toaster etc but no sink so you need to get water from the bathroom for a coffee. We were delighted to see a spa bath when we arrived but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it as we only stayed one night.

    They weren't going to give a refund when I thought I couldn't stay due to illnesses

    The room was huge and incredibly clean. It was a bit run down, but the size and obvious care put into it made up for it. It was like cute art deco surrounded by boutiques and cafes. Yes run down but so much better than I expected.

    Slightly odd looking location/area, didn’t feel that private like someone could just walk past off the street rather easily.

    Comfortable, clean and tidy and easy contactless check in and out super close to lots of shops for food etc and close to beach.

    Not in all nfairness a complaint for the pricing, but car park is remote if you're worried about security. Some noise from flat upstairs and internal gutters when it rained, may annoy some, but it is what it is.

    Competitive pricing in comparison with other local facilities and fits the bill if you need three beds. Large bathroom. Lady we dealt with was very helpful and even had the heater own before we arrived. Very close to local eating facilities and the beach.
