The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.

Amazing Breakfast, Great Staff!

Great staff, very friendly and helpful all round. The hotel is being renovated so it will be good to go back when it’s finished. I’d still recommend a stay even during the upgrade work. The breakfast is TOP DRAWER! 👍

It was nicely situated on the spotlessly clean promenade The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent - nice rashers and sausages. It was being renovated so there was hoarding around the outside, but that did not bother me. Rooms being renovated with sea view looked as if they will be really nice. Room 13 was spacious with a nice clean bathroom. Would stay here again.
