Overall, lovely stay, friendly staff
Our overall stay was lovely, we were celebrating our anniversary. We had a nice stay, the only thing that slightly marred our stay were the special offers advertised in the room, for the same price we had paid for room only, they were offering dinner and breakfast inclusive which was a little disappointing

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Liked: Proximity to train station Proximity to pleasure beach and south pier Staff friendly Bath The poached eggs freshly made The cooked breakfast Comfy pillows (choice to add more pillows) Easy to check in Luggage storage with tags Disliked: No muesli for breakfast both mornings despite listed on menu Cannot leave windows open even short period of time due to flies/beasties (left open for 1 hour while at dinner and room was infested) One shower gel, one soap and one shampoo sample between 2 isnt enough Gym has no weights or mat Slow draining sink in room More fruit and yoghurts would be good at breakfast I also don't like 2 beds pushed together to make one double bed Overall it wasn't any better than Premier Inn or Travelodge so id probably book there next time or go Deluxe if there's a deal available.

Staff very professional. Bar and restaurant very good Only problem we had was given 2nd floor room. Had requested ground floor due to our mobility, even though was booked and payed in full months before However, we are in our late 60s and one of us has crutches, they provided and completed a PEEPS form. We will be going back, and hopefully get ground floor

Needs Improvements
A few nights stay with the family, and can not fault the family room for space. However, a few little issues: Breakfast - £27 per adult per day and a very small offering. Not worth the money Parking - £20 a night unless you book direct and still £10 a night for space they already own. Saturday Night - Late night rides until 9:30pm are room had a very towards the park which my 2 duaghters under 3 enjoyed, but not the noise when trying to get them to sleep. Would of been nice when checking in to be informed of this. Bar - The bar area is way to small for the venue and the amount ot people staying.
