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

A decent place
The friendly and helpful staff ensured I had a comfortable stay, the room was chilly one night, as the heating didn't work and the staff supplied a heater immediately, the shower was rather small but suited me fine, overall I got a good deal on the room and have no complaints, the hotel is clean & cosy.

Feels in need of modernisation - creaky floors, doors which shut with a bang, lift not working. But staff were friendly and the room very comfortable. For the (low) price, it was fine.

Clean friendly but needed a bit of TLC
Staff were friendly and very helpful, lovely sea view from room but room could have been better everything looked half finished needed a bit of TLC and lift was not working. Dinning room was beautiful and the whole hotel was clean. We didn’t pay a lot for hotel so really couldn’t complain would stay again but in different room.
