Would stay again.

Good location . Minutes to sea front . All on the flat. Car parking right out front . Amazingly helpful and friendly reception staff. Our room was ideal for just a place to sleep , shower and put our stuff. Very warm , and we was able to open window. To me this is a major plus in a hotel. Great value for money.

Unfortunately my double bed was 2 singles put together which was uncomfortable for my partner and me. We were disappointed that there was a window over looking the bed that had no curtain or blind so the sun came in at 5 to wake us up. Another problem was why wouldn’t you give guests a hand towel? After washing your hands the only item available was toilet roll.

The staff were so friendly & hospitable & went out of their way to help & get whatever we needed. Cleaners literally just emptied the bin but left dirty cups on the side & didn’t replenish the coffee…also not enough milk available (it does say to ask at reception but didn’t realise there wasn’t enough until we went to make it in the morning) Bar area decor was ok….our room on the other hand was very dated BUT to be fair….we had a decent price for 2 nights considering you get 24hr reception & the staff were so helpful
