Liked: Cleanliness
Room basic but very clean, beds really comfy, you get free parking and it's approx 10 min walk along the high street to the beach. Water in bathroom is on some type of water flow restrictor so don't expect a power shower however, the water was hot and bathroom very clean. Person who checked us in wasn't the most welcoming however, the person on reception the next morning was helpful. No Air Con in our room (205) however, there was a fan in the room and you can open the windows. Didn't use the bar or have any food so can't comment on those parts.

Good location for where I was working. My room was large with a comfortable bed. Tea and coffee facilities were good and tv channels ok. Only really downside was very poor water pressure in the shower. I would stay there again.

Convenient location. Stunning bathroom (with shower only) and plenty of toiletries. The TV signal kept getting interrupted. No aircon, only a fan. Noise travelled through from function being held below our room. Old furniture. A fridge in the room would have been nice. Free parking if signed in at Reception. Overall not a bad hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was really nice. The bed was comfortable. Really liked seeing the elephant out front aswell, really nice touch. Rooms are in need of a bit of modernisation, only 1 plug socket in the whole room.

Situated near the station and at the top of the main drag, this hotel is in dire need of some tlc. They do appear to have a programme of renovations in hand, but our corner room had several cracked window panes and dated furnishings. The sink does not have a mixer tap, and the hot water is scalding, while there is almost no water pressure for the shower. Staff were very helpful, especially in making arrangements for me to store my mobility scooter. The buffet breakfast was well stocked (the sausages particularly tasty), and they provided non-dairy milk substitutes on request. You can ask for one barista-style coffee with breakfast, but otherwise it is instant coffee or pay extra. There is plentiful parking (though, beware; our satnav sent us to the tradesmen’s entrance)

Stayed here several times now and never had a problem. This time we went for a suite and the extra few pounds really was worth it as the rooms were huge and had everything you would want plus as usual very clean. Great location and lovely old building. Only negative is I think they should reserve parking for hotel guests as if they have an event on its first come first served basis. During the day it’s not an issue but I popped out for 20 minutes in the evening and came back to find a choir rehearsing and no parking spaces available.
