Okay
Desk service was great, staff are lovely. Room was okay, bathroom and shower were nice. Room went from being really warm to cold and back quite quickly. Furnishing was okay but room felt quite cheapish with the floor being really creaky. Worth the price still.

Good stay
Nice hotel and staff. Building needs renovating - during our stay it was very windy and the roof was nearly blown off. Couldn’t sleep overnight because of the rumbling noise of the dilapidated roof.

Our car was blocked in (by an unidentified other resident) for nearly two hours in the morning meaning we missed the recreational activity we had planned. The front desk should have registered all guests' cars on arrival as double parking is always likely there.

Nice hotel with character in a very convenient location. Beautifully decorated for Christmas in the public areas. Some minor issues regarding breakfast which were discussed with staff and should be easily rectified. Would be happy to stay here again.

Won’t be going again
Hotel is part of holiday group and had several coaches outside hotel. Checking in was fine. Was disappointed with the room and we smelt stale urine. Had to keep window open all night so was disturbed with traffic noise from about 6am. Breakfast wasn’t good and the service was bad. Had to ask for a drink 3 times before getting it. Couldn’t face it again for second day. Hotel insisted on us leaving key when we went out, but on return, reception was unmanned for quite some time. Phoned a couple of times, no one came to reception to answer calls so had to go round to find staff. We were not the only ones waiting.

Would stay again.
The staff were all very friendly, happy, polite, could not do enough for you. We booked for 1 night and wanted to stay a 2nd night but the hotel was fully booked so we had to leave.

Staff friendly, room was exceptionally hot. Even with the fan on, the bath has broken taps in the sink, and once you turn in hot taps in bath, very hard to turn off.

Found this hotel on hotels.com which had high reviews, the hotel itself was located in a great location near to the beach and a large grassed area. The hotel staff were friendly and was clean, but was very dated I did enjoy my stay

Great location. Bedroom tired.
Great location, on site parking. Room 207, next to lift, so could hear every time the call bell was pressed. Room clean but dated. Paint bubbling off ceiling and water stains. Bathroom ceiling had mould signs, and dried toothpaste on the tiles. Toilet flush made an horrendous noise every time it was used. Breakfast served 830 to 9 not a huge window. Great service, food adequate.
