Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Positive points: Comfortable bed, working bathroom facility's and fairly friendly staff. Negative points: I was not told what the paperwork i was signing was about and the key points of the clauses, in the paperwork I was not informed the lift was broken as I'm disabled and have assistance dog as they put me on the third floor this was a problem because i have bad knees and mobility problems and i found this difficult to traverse up and down the flights of stairs every day. I was not informed about any of the facility's on the site such as the restaurant or the bar where i could of got food as i did not know about them i was getting food offsite. Which i had to find myself as was not given any information about the local area the room itself was too small for what it was meant to be and felt Claustrophobic with me and my dog in the same room when i signed out a day earlier than i should of i was not ask the reason for this and wasn't asked if i had a nice stay at the hotel. You could buy drink at the bar with a card, which made this difficult due to me losing my card during the week and only having cash on me. Overall i did not like the atmosphere of the hotel as i feeling judged by the staff and other people staying at the hotel.

Warm welcome. Hotel is old and the room was as clean as it was possible to clean an old room. Communal areas were less clean including bannisters. Gym, pool and spa are not open until 8.00am so not good for anyone who prefers to exercise before breakfast.

When we checked in the offer us 3rd floor room then they said by the way lifts are not working,we have to walk stairs and stairs, then I asked if we can change the room, they asked extra 40£a night to change with balcony,on the way to the room, the room service stuff said the lifts are out of order for the last 2 weeks, It's showing how they trying take money from customers with fixing,we have to check out one night before, it's one of the dirty hotel I have been seen, the management needs attention to the hotel not only money, shame on the conditions of this hotel,

This is a tired hotel with unmotivated staff and poor facilities. I have a long list of reasons not to stay here! A Premier Inn knocks spots off this hotel. Dont waste your money by booking here. The lift doesn't work (i had to walk 5 flights of stairs to get to my room), the staff are miserable, the carpets are stale, the furniture old and falling apart, room facilities poor, the shower is awful (no water pressure (its like a slow dripping hose pipe)), the hotel bar is dire! Food is a rip off!! I paid £15 for a tiny oven cooked fish and chips. The worse i have ever eaten! Crap entertainment (kareoke 2 days a week). When asking if entertainment on a Saturday, the managet actually said to me they didnt have the budget, which gives you an idea of how little money they have to invest in the hotel. The above are just a few observations.. The location is the best thing about the hotel. But i dont recommend anyone staying here. Thenowners clearlynrumnyhe hitel inna dhoe string. Theres a distinct lack of investment that can be felt the moment you walk in. I would find a more modern hotel, somewhere where you actually feel like youre on a holiday as this hotel didnt!

Clean room, Seaview, Room service available. I booked four nights, upon arrival the lift was not working. As I am disabled. After the 1st night, I requested a possible move to a ground floor room or move to the next door sister hotel. As I had booked a Seaview with terrace. The manager Julian, ensured we was given an equivalent valued or upgraded room, he arranged for an upgraded move at no extra charge to the next door sister hotel which had a working lift, Seaview and private balcony. Our daily breakfast request was also honoured. Julian, thank you so much for your understanding also for a smooth transition. Customer service at it's best!

There were lots of nice things about the hotel, it was very reasonably priced, had a swimming pool and sauna. The breakfast was a limited buffet with the hot food trad British eggs and bacon and done very nicely. The furniture in the room was a little tired but everything worked. They seem to be running on low staff numbers, although the staff in general were very pleasant and helpful. Would be happy to return again. Wonder what it is like peak season?

Probably 3.5* to be fair

Stayed in a penthouse room which was spacious, the view was fantastic, and proximity to town was good, so the cost was worth it for that. However, the fridge wasn’t very cold (we had bought drinks for the balcony) although this was remedied by a friendly barman who sorted us an ice bucket with plenty of ice. The main annoyance though was a strange cistern noise which occurred very frequently 24 hours a day and kept us up at times! The shower was also very stiff and difficult to move to a temperature which didn’t burn you alive. Fortunately we had read about the £12 per day parking charge, so be aware of that too Massages in the spa next door were good, but there is no cut through between hotels so a not very relaxing experience getting through the howling wind and rain back to our hotel! Indoor pool also quite small and only a few chairs around the sides so more for kids in the rain than an area to relax
