Very close to the beach with great sea views. Unfortunately the lift was not working and the hotel was waiting to have the lift repaired, the hotel was very apologetic and this was understandably out of their control.

No issues with the hotel it was just the area outside had alot of tired looking buildings...closed shops... Did have a morrisons opposite which handy as forgot a few things ....burger king...domino's and a few chinese We hadnt pre booked parking which was limited spaces but we parked over the road which was £12 per 24 hours in the station car park...you could pay it all.in one go...display the ticket and not have to go back each day to put on a new ticket... It suited everything we needed for a weekend

Rooms tired, stained and mouldy ceiling (Room 202). Hot water took ages to arrive at basin. Room seemed damp and fusty. Room next door had visitors every 20 minutes during the night. Works going on at adjacent property in the night using sanding machines intermittently.
