Dirty and stinks

The mattress is old, the room stinks, and it's dirty and noisy. The hotel is very neglected and hasn't been renovated in centuries. The staff is very rude and unfriendly. I don't recommend it in every respect.

Very old and durty, no proper service. Depressing prison breakfast. No isolation on the door in the room, I could hear the lift and everyone walking in the corridor. Cleaning team chatting loudly in the corridor at 8:30 am.

Great Location, Good Hotel

This hotel is a good for a budget place, little dated in places, especially the old lifts. I used it to stay close to a sporting event and it is in a great location by the pier (though roadworks right outside currently) The staff were all very friendly, check in was easy and chatty which was great and the people hanging breakfast where full of energy and just the right cheeky banter. The room was small, even for a single but served its purpose - the bed was on wheels and did move which felt odd the first time of getting on it making me think it was wobbly - the sleep on it was fine. There was a small fan in the room, and sash windows to the side. The shower and both looked fine, but no real water pressure so the shower wasn't great. I would stay here again if I needed a budget hotel on the seafront. The room Wass clean enough,

The property is very antiquated and is in need of a proper renovation, unless you book a superior room you may as well not exist. However when I spoke to Liam the manager he was very helpful and understanding

Awful…pictures of the room must be another hotel. Superior room is very very questionable. Stains on the bed sheets, towels not clean, toilet covered in dried dusty urine stains. Hair in the bath, cupboard with rot in the bottom. Paid for 2 nights of parking but only got one night, asked for a refund for the 2nd night and then we were told it’s on a first come first park even though they took our money. Exceptionally let down by this stay and very surprised hotels.com allows this hotel on its website. Best thing about this stay was walking away

Midweek break

Comfortable bed & armchairs. Carpet not very clean & wood work tatty. We had a lovely seaview but the room was almost unbearably hot even with the supplied fan, maybe the bigger rooms are more airy. All staff very good & helpful with charging my husband's mobility scooter. Breakfast buffet plentiful wouldn't have minded a change from scrambled eggs though. Coffee was excellent.

Great position and added bonus of payable car park behind the hotel. Bar, restaurant and reception staff were excellent. Cleaners not so good and rooms in need of a good deep clean. A Victorian hotel so quite quirky. Breakfast adequate and reasonable prices at the bar. Would be happy to return there.

Good hotel.

Our rooms are usually very good. This one we stayed in this time not as good. The carpet was dirty, small beds but ok. The bathroom a bit cramped. Apart from carpet room was mostly clean. As always the staff good and very nice breakfast.
