Hotel was clean, a little weathered in places, a bottle of water would have been nice on arrival, was good to have a double bed instead of two single zipped beds, made it very comfy, good location opposite north pier, easy access to get around everywhere

Great location.

Only stayed for 1 night. Reception staff very friendly. Room had everything we needed for 1 night, bed, shower, and kettle for morning brew. Bed was a bit too hard for my liking, but that's just personal choice, other people might like a hard mattress. Would stay again. Great location.

Bathroom left a lot to be desired there was no soap to wash hands in bathroom, grouting terrible and sealant mouldy. Staff were great and couldn't do enough to help however. Actual room was clean, so was the bed etc but two plug sockets no where near the beds made life tricky. Entrance foyer stank but security access was in place to help.

The property seemed quite run down and the room was filthy, didn’t look like the bathroom had been cleaned from the last guest and there was still rubbish in the room. Stains on the walls also. However the staff were very nice and helpful.

Good Shout

Family of 4 in two rooms. Lovely and beautiful building, extremely friendly, warm and accommodating staff, comfortable beds, fantastic views of the North Pier. Only very slight let down was that, housekeeping could have been a little better house kept. vacuuming in the rooms, but overall I would highly recommend when the pricing is appropriate.
