Don’t let your initial vision put you off, the hotel looks very run down but is very clean and comfortable. We had a sea view which was nice however it also means you have the hotel front lighting shining through the curtains which isn’t ideal. We would stay again with more limited expectations.

Good Points - Very comfy and large bed. Friendly staff and very quiet. Very cool retro lift which was a highlight. Small bar with decent pool table. Bad Points- Greeted with a £30 damage deposit request on arrival which you get back once the cleaner has inspected your room. Makes you feel like your untrusted and dodgy. Website states parking yet this is basic on street pay and display parking away from hotel. Whole hotel is like stepping back in time. In need of major refurb. Bar was lacking alcohol, lights for pool table illuminating the floor next to the table. No partition on balcony so couldn't leave door open over night, no windows for fresh air. Door to room would not lock, had to prop a chair behind door.

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was dirty with stained carpets, clumps of hair on the floor. The toilet was cracked and did not flush properly the bath was stained, there was no hot water. The Staff were borderline surly at best. We had to request towels which we then had to take up to the room ourselves The hotel provided no food due to renovations which were not flagged on Expedia nor by the hotel st the time of booking. If an hotel is being renovated you have an obligation to warn potential customers before taking their money. This is VERY POOR by Expedia

The hotel is in a very poor condition. Clearly lack of maintenance. It's run down and obvious hasn't been decorated for the past 30 years

When booking this hotel, it looked lovely. Unfortunately on arrival, it was clear that the pictures on here were taken many years ago! The room was clean but there a lots of bodge jobs done in the room. We met a couple of the obviously long term lodgers, one of who was aggressive towards us! One a positive, the staff were cheery, friendly and helpful. A beautiful costal walk is on your doorstep and the hotel is very near to the venue we attended last night.

This was a nice hotel for us to meet up with family in town and not have to drive home. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, and had everything you needed. The view of the sea was a lovely way to wake up. I'm certain when all the refurbishment is complete and the dining options come back, that this is a hotel we will use again.

I like the sea view and staff are friendly and helpful but the hotel is out dated needs bright colours in the hallways and photos need to be more modern.
