Super seafront hotel
Superb stay here for a few days. Lovely seafront hotel with plenty of parking (£6 a day).The rooms have been recently decorated so they were very nice.The staff were super friendly & nothing was too much. Comfy beds,clean towels and a good selection for tea & coffee making.

The staff are really nice, but the room wasnt the best, the bed was on a slope. The bathroom was very small to the point the toilet was hard to access, a garden hose would of been better than the shower.
The hotel location is very good its not a bad hotel but dont expect much

One to look out for.
The hotel needs a bit more updating. But the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly and ever ready to help. Must put a word in for receptions Laura and the young staff on breakfast. Both really helpfull and always with a smile. This hotel will cone on in leaps and bounds from its last occupation.

Would stay again.
Good location . Minutes to sea front . All on the flat. Car parking right out front . Amazingly helpful and friendly reception staff. Our room was ideal for just a place to sleep , shower and put our stuff. Very warm , and we was able to open window. To me this is a major plus in a hotel. Great value for money.

Was nice but could have been so much more.
Was ok, i enjoyed the sea view room. Over-all experience was positive, but a couple of the day staff showed a lack of empathy for the elderly or those that didnt quite understand some of the rules. My room was clean but carpet hadnt been hoovered recently.

Cheap, clean and great location
The hotel was clean and at a great location. The staff were very friendly on initial phone contact and in person. The room was a little cold qhen we arrived and the bathroom could have benefitted from a heater or radiator but for the price you cant complain too much
