The hotel is solid, not a bad stay and the bed was quite comfortable. The property is quite run down though, with ripped / broken carpet, no fridges, and the rooms and hallways have likely not seen renovations for quite some time. Staff were very nice though.

The 2 female receptionists were warm friendly welcoming and professional and the hostess at breakfast was so very helpful smiley and thorough.

Breakfast great, rooms and hotel in general very tired, but we think it’s being done up as scaffolding all round. Staff efficient and pleasant, food sparse, only pizza for dinner available, so we ate out. Convenient location near shops and waterfront just a walk away, easy access to the gower.

The hotel was inexpensive and in my head I think you get what you pay for. However the premier inn is also just as inexpensive (if not more so) and far nicer (it was sold out). The carpets are all rucked up in the rooms and hallways. The beds you can feel the springs in the mattress. The aircon didn’t work (not great in a heat wave). Pubes on the floor in the bathroom and general dust dirt in all the corners of the room. We arrived an 1.5 hours early. Went to the desk to ask if room ready would it be possible to check in….yes room ready- that’ll be £20 though (no thank you). The location is good, didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that. Wouldn’t recommend but if it’s in your budget and only place available then I’m sure there are worse.
