Room was in desperate need of decorating, needed new window frames. En suite miniscule, nowhere to hang towel or clothes. Towels very thin and with holes. The room was warm and bed linen clean.

Very misleading reviews

After reading the reviews I had prepared myself for the worst. I even took a sleeping bag and my own towel. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The guy at reception was polite and friendly. Yes the hotel is a bit dated but for the price you can’t expect the Ritz. The room was small but clean and tidy. The sink shower and toilet were clean as was all the bedding. The bed was comfortable and there was a TV, kettle with plenty of tea, coffee and milk. There was even a small fridge. Maybe I was just lucky but I can’t really fault the place and for the price it was a bargain. I would definitely book again.

Great location, easy to check in and have own keys so can come and go as you please at any time. Perfect for what we wanted just a room for sleeping after a night out, easily walkable to the town and seafront would definitely book again
